I really hope somebody can answer me this hypothetical question;
I have done both written exams for Fundamentals Of Instruction and Flight Instructor -Airplane. In fact they will expire in October. Now, suppose I was to get my CFI-Sport Pilot checkride done and get that certificate in my pocket. Next year I start on my regular CFI (instrument, commercial and all that). The exams have expired, but I am a certified Sport Pilot CFI - will I have to take those same written tests again?
Any ideas? |

| The FOI should be locked in with the sport CFI, but the FI airplane will have to be taken over. IMO |

Aerco,
The FAA honors the FOI test results, forever for all ratings it applies to.
Take it once...you're done!
The Sport Pilot Airplane CFI written is a DIFFERENT test than the CFI Airplane written. If you took your CFI Sport checkride today, and you CFI checkride tomorrow, you would have to produce a passing scoresheet for EACH of the two tests. |

| I concur with Bryan. That is also my understanding. |
