category and class) so that is a moot question. Your sport instruction
time will give you a lot of invaluable experience.
There are two ways to get appointed to an examiner position. The
traditional way is through the FSDO but you will basically need to be
able to walk on water, and have been actively doing so for many decades,
before they will consider you. A few hundred hours doing any particular
type of instruction isn't going to make a difference in their selection
either way. They only appoint a dozen or so people and they are the
best of the best within their entire district.
The second way to become an examiner is through AFS 610 and they only
appoint examiners at the sport level so they are certainly looking at
your sport instruction time.

Currently I am a Commercial SEL pilot without an instrument rating with about 1,000 hrs (Instrument rating is not required for ag ops). I also have another 200 hrs in ULs. My intent is to teach as a sport instructor while I earn my instrument ticket. The question is how much of the instruction time will count if I decide to upgrade to a standard CFI or examiner?
