Flight training in homebuilt.
I was reading the May 2009 issue of “Kit Planes” in the “Ask DAR” page 61 and he states
that it is against the rules to pay a CFI to give primary training in a homebuilt. The reason
given is that they cannot be used to “carry a person or property for compensation or hire” It was my understanding that what was being purchased was the instruction and
not the flight so this did not apply.
They state that a CFI could do this for free and be legal, but cannot get paid to instruct.
I had not heard this before. Has anyone experienced this interpretation of
the rule?
Thanks. For obvious reasons, I can also be reached of list at:

I'm not sure that a DAR would necessarily be an expert on instructional matters. That said, CFI's don't always agree on rule interpretations which can lead to some spirited conversations at CFI refresher clinics.
My understanding is that it is legal for a CFI to charge for instruction given to a pilot in a homebuilt aircraft owned by or loaned to the person receiving instruction.
If the CFI owns the homebuilt and wishes to charge for it's use as well as his/her services for TYPE-SPECIFIC instruction the CFI must apply to the FAA for a letter of authority to do so. You can apply for it but it is not a sure thing that you will get it.

Tim is correct. The trick is to find one who will do it.
