Is it specifically stated anywhere in the FAR's or any other government-issued document or publication that expressly prohibits someone who does not hold a CFI rating from instructing or teaching, most broadly, on topics of aviation? (such as material required for flight training for a private pilot license).
I was asked to teach some middle school-age kids about the basics of private flight training, and I intend to do so. I just want to make sure I am not breaking the law since I do not have my CFI. I know several CFI's personally and I will not ask them this question because I know they will be irritated at my stealing their local business. Yes I am getting paid; though an extremely small wage compared to someone with a rating. I have had some flight training myself although I will NOT be taking any of these kids up in an airplane.
So, am I doing something illegal? If yes, is it because I am being compensated, or would it still be illegal if I did it for free? I am looking for express written documentation. I am not looking for something implied. I've looked in the FAR/AIM and can't find it, but maybe I haven't looked thoroughly enough. Input appreciated!
