Are the tests for Basic Ground Instructor and Advanced Ground Instructor the same ?
Study preparation for both tests is the same, and the question database is the same. However, Advanced Ground Instructors are expected to understand concepts at a higher level; they will be asked the more difficult questions from the question database.
What is the difference between a Basic and Advanced flight instructor ?
Basic flight instructors can teach students pursuing a Sport, Recreational, or Private Pilot certificate. Advanced ground instructors can teach for all certificates and ratings.
Do I have to pass a practical test to be a ground instructor ?
No, you need only meet the eligibility requirements, pass a knowledge exam, and apply via the 8710 form with your local flight standards district office to earn your Ground Instructor certificate.
Can I be a ground instructor without holding a flight instructor certificate ?
Yes, you can become a Ground Instructor without obtaining a Flight Instructor certificate. Ground Instructor applicability, eligibility requirements, privileges, and experience requirements are listed in 14 CFR Part 61.211 through 61.217. |
