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 ?

• Revised Note in “Aircraft and Equipment Required for the
Practical Test” section of Introduction and added paragraph
4 clarifying when a non-complex airplane is required for the
practical test. These edits are intended to make clear that a
complex aircraft is not required when adding an airplane
class rating to an existing flight instructor certificate that
already contains an airplane category and class rating. The
FAA finds the requirements for the use of a complex
airplane are not necessary when the applicant has already
satisfactorily demonstrated the takeoff, landing, emergency,
and other Tasks contained within this PTS in a complex
airplane.

You are correct. I only had to complete my short, soft and power off 180 takeoffs/landings in the complex aircraft. Many friends of mine have done the same thing. I did all other maneuvers in a Piper Warrior (much cheaper than the C210).
