Ground Instructor Test

[Bob Mellin]

I hold a Subpart H instructor rating in one cat/class with
Subpart K (sport) instructor privileges in a second
cat/class. I've been asked to give ground instruction
towards a rating in the second cat/class. I know I can give
the written signoff for a sport applicant to take a sport
written in the second cat class. However, I figure I might
as well get a ground instructor rating and be able to give
the signoff for Private as well as Sport.

Questions:

1) Is there a sport knowledge test out yet? When I looked
at this a while ago they hadn't written one.

2) Do I need any signoff for the GI or AGI test? IIRC, I
can just walk in and take it.

3) Anyone know the fee for these tests?

Thanks.

Can't help with the first part, but you don't need a signoff for any
ground instructor knowledge test. I would skip GI and take AGI though.
Each is about $80 iirc.

1) Yes, I believe AOPA has the knowledge test info on their site for
Sport pilots

2) No sign off necessary for AGI. Skip the CGI and go right for the AGI
(I assume you've already takien the FOI exam for your previous CFI)

3) $80
