CFI practical test - aircraft required

It's enumerated in the PTS - top of page 9 (bullet 3 under "Aircraft
and Equipment Required for the Practical Test" - "A complex airplane
must be furnished for the performance of takeoff and landing
maneuvers, and appropriate emergency procedures.")

I just noticed that... in fact, it references 61.45 which is not in my
ASA FAR/AIM. I also states that a complex airplane is only required for
the take-off and landings portion of the practical test.

I would expect that since CFIs can give complex/HP endorsements, it's
not unreasonable to have the CFI-ASEL checkride be conducted in such
an aircraft.

I agree with this philosophy and mentioned that to him at the time.
No big deal, I was planning to use a complex airplane anyway, I was
just trying to find the exact reference.

No biggie. I'm doing the same thing for my CP-AMEL, twin for the
initial commercial and then a 172 for the ASEL addon since the complex
stuff is covered by the ME.

Don't forget the Examiner can request any task for any certificate or rating
you hold!

Actually, I just founf 61.45 in the FAR/AIN, it was just out of order. Anyway,
while not explicity stated, the requirement comes from 61.45(b)(1)(i)

Thanks for the input... now I have an answer for my instructor. hehe
