These testing centers offer the full range of airman knowledge tests including military competence, instrument foreign pilot, and pilot examiner screening tests. Refer to appendix 1 in this guide for a list of computer testing designees. This knowledge test guide was developed to be used by applicants preparing to take a knowledge test for the following ratings: Fundamentals of Instructing Ground Instructor, Basic Ground Instructor, Advanced Flight Instructor, Airplane Flight Instructor, Helicopter Flight Instructor, Gyroplane Flight Instructor, Glider Flight Instructor, Airplane (Added Rating) Flight Instructor, Helicopter (Added Rating) Flight Instructor, Gyroplane (Added Rating) Flight Instructor, Glider (Added Rating). What is required to become a skilled and effective flight or ground instructor? Although some individuals possess more knowledge and skills than others, no one is born a natural instructor. Competent instructors become so through study, hard work, and experience. This guide is not offered as a quick and easy way to obtain the necessary information for passing these knowledge tests. There is no quick and easy way to obtain this knowledge in addition to the skills needed to transform a student into a pilot capable of operating safely in our complex national airspace system. Rather, the intent of this guide is to define and narrow the field of study, as much as possible, to the required knowledge areas for obtaining a flight or ground instructor certificate.105
