What are the eligibility requirements to become an AGI?

To become an Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI), one of the core eligibility requirements is to hold at least a private pilot certificate and be a minimum of 18 years of age. This ensures that the individual has a foundational understanding of aviation principles and regulations, which are critical for providing instruction at an advanced level. The requirement to be at least 18 years old is also important as it aligns with legal regulations regarding the issuance of certifications and responsibilities for instructors.

The other options, while they may include qualifications from individuals involved in aviation, do not align with the specific requirements to attain an AGI. For instance, holding a commercial pilot certificate or being a certified flight instructor is not necessary, as the foundational knowledge from a private pilot certificate is sufficient. Similarly, possessing a bachelor’s degree in aviation is not a prerequisite for AGI certification, making the correct choice focused specifically on the relevant aviation experience and minimum age criteria.
