Walt -- Walt Connelly At your current stage the most crucial resource is the Aviation Instructor's Handbook (link listed at the top of John's list). *For me, this book was the real eye-opener about becoming an instructor. *Also, this is what the FAA examiner will be mostly concentrating on when you take your instructor checkride. *When I got my checkride I never got to touch the stick! -- Matt Hmm, I guess John's pointing at a different book. *Anyway, the FAA book I'm talking about is at: http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/a...structors_hand.... -- Matt I took my CFIG writtens and practical in 2010. *I used the ASA Test Prep software to study for the FOI and Glider Aeronautical writtens. Seemed to work fine for me with above a 90 on both exams. *You get the exam sign off directly from ASA via email once you email them three scores of above 80 percent. Lane XF When I did mine in 2004 you did not need a sign off to take the FOI or Instructor written exams. T You are correct. To the best of my knowledge those are two exams that do not require a sign off. ASA will email you one though. Lane |

Anyone have a good recommendation for a home study course for CFIG? The BGA has an excellent Glider Instructors Manual that can be normally be ordered on their website. At the moment it is being updated, but will be available to buy again early February. An older, but extremely valuable book for new CFIGs is "Flying Training in Gliders" by Ann and Lorne Welch. Its out of print, but copies are around, I've seen some on Amazon. |

T You are correct. *To the best of my knowledge those are two exams that do not require a sign off. *ASA will email you one though. Lane From personal experience, and that the nearest testing center to Marfa Texas is 186 miles away in El Paso: Get the endorsement to take the knowledge test(s) from any CFI (not necessarily a CFI-G) because the nice folks at the Computer Center will likely ask for it when you arrive and they may not always know if it is required. Also, always make an appointment with the testing center and let them know in advance exactly which test you need. There is a difference between the "initial" CFI knowledge test and the "add-on rating" for CFI- Glider. |
