What our customers say:
Just wanted to say I passed my CGX today with a score of 97%. I used your GPGS written exam guide almost exclusively to study for this test.

FUNDAMENTAL OF INSTRUCTION (FOI) EXAM PREPARATION BOOK
You must take the Fundamentals of Instruction (FOI) exam to become an instructor. It is a test about how people learn. If you already possess a teaching certificate, you do not need to test for the FOI. A local FSDO (FAA Flight Standards District Office) will issue you credit for your teaching experience. For the rest of us the FOI exam is required. There are 50 Questions on the exam and you are allowed 1.5 hours to complete it. This Exam guide is for all instructors, Glider, Airplane, Rotorcraft and all others who need to take the FOI exam. Once you have an initial instructor rating, additional ratings may be added by taking the added exams. You only need to take the FOI test once. A signoff is not required.
Most pilots find the FOI test difficult and usually score less than they do on the aircraft tests. The concepts are unfamiliar and the questions seem more like a college SAT than anything practical. You are probably familiar with a few really good instructors and whether they know it or not, they are probably using many of the concepts provided here. By using this guide and taking the practice exams the FOI test can usually be studied for in one evening and you can be confident you will do well on the real exam if you understand the information and score well on the practice tests.Recently the FAA introduced 60 new questions. The majority of those taking the exam after these questions were introduced failed the exam. We have all questions covered in our FOI exam guide so be assured you will have the new complete question bank, with the FAA required answers.
