A person whose Flight Instructor Certificate has been suspended may not

• A. apply for any rating to be added to that certificate during the period of suspension
• B. teach flight students during suspension
• C. renew the certificate during suspension
• D. cancel the suspension

Answer: (A)

When a Flight Instructor Certificate is suspended, all privileges tied to that certificate are temporarily removed, so the holder cannot act as an instructor or take actions that would expand or change the certificate while the suspension is in effect. Adding a rating to the certificate would extend what the certificate allows you to do, which is precisely something you cannot initiate during a suspension. Reinstatement or renewal typically comes after the suspension ends, and the suspension itself is not something you can cancel on your own. So the limitation that fits the situation best is that you may not apply for any rating to be added to the certificate during the suspension period.
