(3) have satisfactorily completed a course in the theory and practice of instruction; and
(4) have demonstrated to the holder of a flight engineer examiner rating the ability to give flight engineer instruction in all normal, abnormal, and emergency flight situations by passing an oral examination and a flight test that are acceptable to the Director. A flight simulator may be used for all or part of such flight test.
(a) Subject to paragraph (b), the holder of a flight engineer instructor rating is authorised to—

(2) exercise those privileges within an organisation operating under—
(i) an air operator certificate issued under Part 119, where the certificate authorises the holder to conduct flight engineer training and assessment; or
(ii) an aviation training organisation certificate issued under Part 141, where the certificate authorises the holder to conduct flight engineer training and assessment; and
(3) within the immediately preceding 13 months, have demonstrated to the holder of a flight engineer examiner rating the ability to give flight engineer instruction, in all normal, abnormal, and emergency flight situations, by passing an oral examination and a flight test based on practical demonstration of the privileges of the rating.
