I have taken the FOI and FIA exams (and passed
), and the FOI expires next month. I'm not going to make a checkride before the FOI expires, and I was wondering if I can do anything with my writtens...like get a ground instructor certificate? Also, if I get a ground instructor certificate, do I need to retake the FOI or FIA when I do finally make it to my CFI checkride? Does anybody know the procedure for this? Is there an exam at the fsdo? Thanks for the info....
