I Know I take the Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI) and the AGI, then go to the FSDO to be issued my certificate. My question is, can I also earn my Instrument Ground Instructor (IGI) before I have a Instrument rating for my private pilot certificate? If yes, how do you know it can be done.

I took FOI, AGI and IGI all in one session, and took them to the FSDO the next day.. issued on the spot. Dave Chris Brooks wrote: Quote: yes, take the instrument written test and take it to the FSDO.

Yes, but the test does not count toward your instrument rating (or even your CFII). The ground instructor tests are technically distinct (but actually come from the same bank of question). For the AGI, you just take the AGI test which is 90% the commercial/CFI exam (with a couple strange questions added to the bank about multi crew operations and airline ops). Of course you need to FOI as you mentioned for the first CGI or CFI test. -Robert Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Aviation (Students) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
