Ah Todd, there you go again.
Since it has been 40 or more years since I took any written for my Instructor rating, I suppose things could have changed. Having added multiple endorsements to my instructors certificate without any written exam, (dare I use the word assume?) I assumed that the rules were still the same. I guess I'll just have to turn in my certificate until I can take the multiple written exams now required. Woe is me! Allan "Todd Pattist" wrote in message ...

I have had to take short "unofficial: written tests as part of the "oral"
before a practical test. This doesn't seem unreasonable to me. If someone can demonstrate an "official" written that is required before one can take the practical test, I would appreciate the reference. (Given the condition that one already has some sort of Flight Instructor rating) Allan "Tony Verhulst" wrote in message ...

never base assumptions on a 40yr old history or memory..
LOL I just went through that same argument with another 50yr old memory.. But, you need to retake the FOI, you will need to complete the Commercial and CFIG check rides... and "I gotta go look this one up", the transition to "other aircraft" only counts when transitioning from AIRPLANE to other categories. So you "may" need to take the Commercial Glider written, but you WILL need to take the Glider Instructor written (not the FOI). Todd had all the FARs referenced BT "ADP" wrote in message ...

He has a Commercial glider. His question was "Does he need an endorsement
to take any written." My answer is no. LQ Allan "BTIZ" wrote in message news:%o1Ob.33406$zs4.4061@fed1read01... and he will need to first take a Commercial Glider check ride.. before the CFIG practical... there are some places that will give both rides the same day.. but some FSDOs argue not to do that.
