Gold Seal Question

[cimepilot]

I have a question about obtaining a gold seal on my CFI certificate....I have signed off nine people for checkrides. One of them took two checkrides which makes for ten recommendations total and a pass rate oof 100%. Does this qualify for gold seal or do the 10 signoffs need to be from 10 different applicants?

Yes, but you will also need to have either an Advanced Ground Instructor certificate or a Instrument Ground Instructor certificate to go along with those passes. Consult FAA AD 61-65.
