Is the CFI endorsement to take a private pilot test for a specific

In addition to studying the books your instructor will no doubt
recommend, go he

and set it up for 'Private Pilot - Glider' .
Take practice tests endlessly instead of playing Freecell on your
computer.

Thanks for the help, but your pointers, while useful, don't appear to
address the question.


The specific answer to your question is----Yes, category and class.

See FAA Advisory Circular AC 61-65D (on the FAA Website www.faa.gov )
#37 Aeronoutical knowlege test will include name of specific test (glider)

"fixed wing" is a description, not a category or class.

Find a local CFIG willing to endorse you--(S)He will likely require an
intensive oral quiz of you.

Hope that helps--good luck on the test!
