Now on to the FII. Am I correct in assuming that the FII test is the same, or essentially the same as the instrument written? Would studying the instrument Gleim book be sufficient for taking the FII?

Lastly, what's the process for getting your AGI? I just take the test scores to the FSDO and get that cert? I'm planning on going to ATPs CFI program, and they require the original FOI, FIA, and FII tests. Does the FSDO take the original or...? ]]> Member Announcements B767 http://forums.jetcareers.com/member-announcements/98614-passed-fia.html http://forums.jetcareers.com/member-announcements/98604-gobble-gobble-quack-quack.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:36:13 GMT A very big happy birthday to both TheFlyingTurkey and BobDDuck. :nana2:

Anyway, this is 'stream of consciousness' so don't expect grammar, few run-on sentences, or completeness of thought.

I consider my forum as an extension of my living room. MANY of you have, in fact, been in my living room because, for better or for worse, I trust you guys in my home.

Now, if I don't trust someone by the nature of their actions on the forum, why would I ever invite this person into my home? If I wouldn't invite them into my home because of misrepresentation, why in the hell would I want them on my forum?

Yeah yeah, it's just the internet. And any everyday disgruntled pilot with a "Yeah, screw that guy, Ah'mo start my own forum" attitude and about $100 can start an aviation internet forum. However, most of us are friends in the real world and only use JC forum as a communications conduit so we're different and I take this stuff seriously.

If you're just logging on to crack on our community. Beat it.

If you're just logging on because no other aviation forum would take you because of your attitude, drop the attitude or pound sand.

If you're misrepresenting yourself, like Tomcatter, AirAlgerie and a couple of other users in our past have, and I find out about it, that means that I can't trust you and my community has no need for you.

If you're interested in the "brotherhood" of the Jetcareers.com community, want to make real-world connections, network and understand that we're running much more than another mind-numbing "My plane is better than your plane" aviation internet forum, and want to be a part of our mostly functional family, welcome brothers and sisters! :) ]]> Member Announcements Doug Taylor http://forums.jetcareers.com/member-announcements/98430-why-i-gave-airalgerie-ax.html http://forums.jetcareers.com/member-announcements/98425-wow-fast.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:19:08 GMT I passed my MEI checkride about two weeks ago, and I just got my plastic cert in the mail today.

I really will take all this stuff with me through my CFI days and hopefully the 121 world. It really felt good to know that my instructor wanted me to learn. He wanted me to succeed and that motivates me to become a great CFI when my time comes and give back to the flying community. Sorry for the rant. lol This one goes out to all the CFI's who enjoy seeing their student's learn and to all the students who are going through the long journey to whatever flying you want to do.

We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan.
