Which is fairly typical, I am afraid.

OTOH, how difficult, really, is it to become a CFII? The additional rating
seems to be little more than part of the FAA's designated examiner full
employment program. Many CFIs manage to take both check rides on the same
day.

A Ground Instructor Certificate - Instrument Rating is also an
"authorized instructor" and is authorized to give the instrument
proficiency
check in an approved flight training device.

For this to be true 2 things have to happen 1.training in an approved FTD
or Sim time has to be classified as "ground training" and, 2. an Instrument
Proficiency Check must be able to be completed with ground training (Sim or
FTD) only .

So far the FAA says no to both. Also where does it say that any ground
training is "required" for an Inst Prof Check as implied in 61.215 (c)(2)?
