MSIP Training Center Instructor (TCI)

MSIP TCI

Requirements 

A flight instructor, who is employed by or serves as a contractor to an MSIP Training Center, will receive recognition by PMOPA as an MSIP TCI for the purpose of providing:

  1. Ground training; and/or
  2. Recurrent training; and/or
  3. Focused task-specific and/or situational-specific training (for example, landings/approaches, instrument proficiency and mountain flying); and/or
  4. Mentor/Line Orientated Flight Training (LOFT).

 

The MSIP Training Center will provide a list of its MSIP TCIs to the PMOPA SEF and is responsible for providing timely updates to the PMOPA SEF of any changes to its list. The MSIP Gold CFI or MSIP Platinum CFI leading the MSIP Training Center must verify that each MSIP TCI meets the following criteria:

  1. Holds a current U.S. FAA Single Engine Airplane Land Flight Instructor certificate with an Instrument Flight Instructor rating (or non-U.S. Civil Aviation Authority equivalent); and
  2. Is a PMOPA member in good standing; and
  3. Demonstrates knowledge of PMOPA SEF Training Program and PMOPA Operating Practices, and the ability to use the knowledge and training resources that support the PMOPA SEF Training Program.

 

An MSIP TCI may only conduct PMOPA SEF training in the Variant(s) allowed under the MSIP Gold CFI or MSIP Platinum CFI’s authorizations.

 

Immediately upon ending the employment or contractual relationship with an MSIP Training Center, an MSIP TCI forfeits their MSIP Program recognition by the PMOPA SEF. This does not preclude the individual from seeking MSIP TCI recognition if employed by or contracting for another MSIP Training Center, nor does it prevent the individual from applying for MSIP Program CFI recognition as an independent provider.
