I just took the add on CFI - G test. You want to ask for test code AFG. You will also need an endorsement from a CFI-G if you do home study. Burt's math is off a little - you can miss seven and still pass.

Hi folks. Passed my Commercial Glider check ride today.

I'm currently a CFI-A. Do I need to take a written test before taking the CFI-G checkride?

Joe,

You might want to check out my online course "Guide to Becoming a CFI-G". The information in this course can also be a useful reference for new, or even experienced CFI-Gs. The course provides links to all of the reference material an instructor will need, including FARs, ACs, FAA Manuals, Endorsements, Progress Records, Phase Tests, Training Checklists, and Flight Review materials. In addition, you can download over 180 illustrations that you can use for teaching both the flight and knowledge areas to your students.

The course covers:
Requirements
Instructor Responsibilities
Record Keeping
Reference Materials
Advice for New Instructors
Instructional Materials
Flight/Knowledge Training including lesson plans
Performing Flight Reviews
Using IACRA

If you are interested, you can follow this link to learn more.

First you'll need a commercial pilot certificate and instrument rating, then you can take the 25 question AFA (Additional Flight Instructor Airplane) written when you have the required endorsement.

Basically your CFIG means nothing going power. A little flight time, but I believe no tests or anything else counts.

Only IACRA knows for sure... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA (semi sarcasm, in fact, you aren't going to get very far with your IACRA application if you don't have the right material to feed it.)

Burt had the best advise.

That said, I'm trying to improve my own understanding.

It looks like:

You don't have to take FOI.

You must pass CAX (ref https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/...er_8080.6H.pdf)

You must pass AFA. Odd that this isn't called out in 8080.6

One bonus of having the CFI-G is he will have a wider range of examiners to choose from for the CFI-A as it isn't initial CFI ride.
