Not required to take FOI test if already an IGI or AGI?

Asked by: 7994 views FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor

If you are going to get your CFI and you already have taken the IGI or AGI written test, filled out the 8710 and received your ground instructor certificate, it looks like you don't need to take teh FOI written test for your CFI certificate.

Anyone read the regs any different?

Regards,

    That’s correct, because you already have taken the FOI in order to obtain your Ground Instructor Certificate. At your CFI initial exam during the paperwork process, just present your ground instructor certificate.

    This isn’t to say you won’t be asked questions about FOI’s though on your oral, so keep studying your FOI’s!
