Going back to the original question, has anyone gotten an SEL add-on to their CFI/II recently? I am interested in the exact process. It doesn't require a separate written, does it? I thought it was only a checkride. Anyone know what that checkride is like?

Assuming your examiner plays by the rules in the CFI PTS, what he is supposed to look at on the check is detailed in the front of the booklet in a little table. That table says something to the effect of "if the applicant holds so-and-so rating, then this or that Area of Operation can be skipped".
Depending on what you're trying to do, doing training and a practical test to take a "real" civilian CFI practical test may or may not be worth the effort/money.
Best wishes.

Thank you, Zach, that helps.
As soon as I finish the Military Competency Instructor test, I'll have my MEL CFI/II, but not for SEL. I would like to be able to instruct in SEL airplanes, so I'll need to get the add-on checkride.

For someone who doesn't have a Comm-SEL, but does have an ATP-ME, the ATP add-on ride is a ton easier than the Commercial SEL ride.

If he doesn't have his ATP already, it's a different kettle of fish somewhat because now we're talking writtens too...
...it isn't about finding a job necessarily, it's about minimizing training expenses and getting through the checkride. If someone is interested in pursuing an ASEL ATP job, more power to them.

Sorry a little off topic here - but it does relate to the MCI. Before you go in to the FSDO to get your MCI, make sure you fill out and complete an FAA IACRA account. The examiner asked me about it when I arrived, and being a Mil only guy, I had never heard of it since it wasn't on the gouge.......
