CFI ASEL to CFIG - Written Test?

Is a written test required for adding glider cat/class to a
SubPart H CFI limited to the ASEL cat/class?

Thanks

Yes. It is a 25 question test on glider-specific topics. Get the ASA
CFI test prep book to study for it, since the Gleim book excludes
glider questions.

the questions can be found on Gliems web page, but you have to grab them one
at a time.

By far the most important thing to know as
a CFI converting to CFIG is why we douse
solo pilots with water instead of cutting the shirttail
off.

Well, the shirttail thing comes from days of old
when the biplane engines sprayed lots of oil on
the windscreen. When the instructor got out, he'd
surreptitiously take the rag used to wipe the
windscreen and goggles off. So the new solo
pilot would have to rip up his shirt
to use it to wipe stuff off.

In soaring, the equivalent is swiping the guy's water
bottle.
After about 15 minutes in a thermal, the guy
is thirsty, and hearing the CFIGs words ringing in
his ears, he forces himself to land.

The CFIG then gives him 'more water than
he can drink.'

P.S. I might be making some of this up,
but it sounded good, right?

P.S.S. If you solo a guy in a motorglider, get his
shirttail AND douse 'em.
