I have the Glider Pilot Ground School (Seymour) books here as well as ASA
Written test guides (the best deals on these are now a combination set of
software and paper books, ASA TEST PREP TESTWARE (Download) Combinations.

The FAA PTS is the one you really want to look at as this is the Bible for
Examiners and applicants showing what can and has to be tested for, these
also give reference as to where the correct answers that the Examiner is
looking for..whatever is on the PTS has to be addressed in a real practical
exam...the PTS is also available on line for free from FAA website, just go
to http://www.faa.gov/ and search under PTS
Good luck! What soaring really needs is more willing and competent CFI's!

With the upper-midwestern soaring season just about done, I was
looking for something to do during the winter, and decided to start on
my CFI-G rating. This will be my initial CFI rating so I will need to
pass the FOI, and CFI exams.

What books would you recommend besides the obvious FAR/AIM, and test
study guides?

Thanks

Peter
