Hello everyone
Had a doubt regarding complex airplanes for CFI

As per my knowledge goes you need a complex aircraft for the CFI Checkride or for parts of the checkride

A friend of mine pointed this out . According to the FAQ's on this page one of the many advantage of the doing the CFII first is that one does not need a complex airplane for the checkride

FAQ Initial CFII

My question is if one were to do a CFII first in a non complex aircraft ( say C172S )..... would you be required to do the CFI addon on a complex airplane ?
