I would check with the FSDO I don't think that the foreign
pilot needs an instructor endorsement to take the FP IR
test. The ATP does not for any pilot the first time.


I don't mean to indicate a foreign ATP needs an instructor endorsement. My
emphasis was on making sure everyone, applicant, tester, etc. not confuse
the IR Airplane written test for the IR-Foreign Pilot written test. My
experience showed that people that should know better would often confuse
the common IR test for the less common IR test. Just because the written
tests are almost nearly identical, one will not substitute for the other
test.
