Initial vs. Add-on Checkride

[C. Kelley]

I have only a PPL-ASEL and I'm working towards Instrument Rating-Airplane. Would my checkride be considered an initial or add-on?

It's an Initial instrument rating. An add-on would be if you already had your Instrument-Rotorcraft Helicopter rating and were adding on an Instrument - Airplane rating.

Thank you!
