My insurer has a new policy on experimentals:
1) Annual recurrent training in same make and model (preferably in the insured aircraft) in the form of an Instrument Proficiency Check
2) BFR must be in same make and model as insured aircraft (preferably in the insured aircraft)
3) Administering CFI/CFII must have 1000 hours total, 250 retractable gear, and 25 hours in exact make and model as the insured aircraft

Questions:
1) Doesn't a CFI (or CFII) have to have an FAA letter of authorization to instruct in an experimental?
2) Anyone know of a CFII in the northeast who can do a BFR & IPC in an experimental in the northeast US?

I'm trying to work this out to be less restrictive with the underwriter now, but until that's done I'm effectively grounded.

I'd appreciate any help/leads you can provide.
