Boris,

Common sense should allow you to show up with the greater test for an
additional rating Flight Instructor. We know that the FAA does not
always follow common sense. I do not have my handbook here, but since
you stated that it does not answer this, I would have to call my POI
(Principal Operations Inspector-the supervisor for DPEs) and ask him.
You could call your own local FSDO and ask. It is their job to answer
such questions.

Good luck. I think you have the right idea in your training.

One option might be to just take the FIA and FIG. Is that allowed? Can
I show up for an "added rating" checkride with the "initial rating"
version of the written? I checked the DPE handbook but it doesn't
seem cover this situation.

Thanks,
Boris
