I have a Flight Instructor Certificate with CFIA, CFII, and MEI ratings, however it expired quite a few years ago along with my medical certificate due to having a benign brain tumor removed. Consequently, I lost my medical certificate and my Instructor ratings eventually expired. I have worked continuously for a major 121 airline as a pilot ground school instructor before, during and after my brain surgery. Now here's my dilema and question; I recently had a co-worker and friend offer me part time work teaching advanced ground school courses with him at a local community college. He believes I will need to obtain my AGI/IGI to be legally qualified (and I'm unsure). Now, I know that a Flight Instructor Certificate, (especially CFII & MEI) qualifies in-leu of the appropriate Ground Instructor certificates (AGI/IGI) so long as currency requirements are met (delivered ground training within the past 12 calendar months, etc.) But I'm unsure if my 121 job qualifies toward that requirement. And therefore unsure if my original Flight Instructor certificate is still good for teaching GA ground school courses?
