61.183.f says you must pass an aeronautical test pertinent to the rating sought. The question... which as far as I can tell isn't answered explicitly in the FARs... is whether the flight instructor airplane knowledge test is accepted for flight instructor glider. The answer is -probably- yes. But I'd send an email to my friendly FAA inspector guy to be sure.


No.

Thanks Burt. I should clarify that I have a specific individual in mind (the guy that examined me on my initial CFI) and he is indeed friendly and knowledgeable... and a glider guy too. He's surely examined scores of "add on" glider CFIs. I was not suggesting a blind call to a FSDO.
