Can I use these lesson plans on my checkride?

Definitely! Many pilots have (and passed)! We do, however, recommend that you go through and add/remove/edit the information to ensure you're well prepared for the checkride and are comfortable with the content's format and flow.

And the FAA agrees. Straight from the Aviation Instructor's Handbook (pg. 7-9): "Commercially developed lesson plans are acceptable for most training situations, including use by flight instructor applicants during their practical tests."

Are the files editable?

Yep! Everything is delivered in Word, PowerPoint, Pages, and Keynote (as well as PDFs), the same formats you already work in. They also work great with Google Docs and Google Slides. And all documents are provided as individual files as well as book versions with full navigation!

However you work (Mac or PC, Word or Google, one lesson at a time or the full binder), there's a format that fits.

Do I get free updates?

Yes! One price, one time, free updates for life.

As content is added or revised (generally, monthly), you'll get an email summarizing what changed. Log into your account, click the My Digital Content button, and download the latest version. Your work is done!

I'm overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Can this help?

Definitely! That's a huge reason BSP exists. CFI is especially hard without reliable guidance. The lesson plans and slides give you a foundation, so no more staring at a blank page. The 90-Day Study Plan gives you structure, laying out what to do and when, and live classes give you support, feedback, and answers to your questions along the way. You don't have to figure this out alone!

I'm already a CFI, is this still for me?

It is! The lessons and slides are built around the instructor ACS, which means they already cover these topics in more depth than your students need. Pair them with our syllabi and you've got a ready-made teaching system: the syllabi tell you which lessons to use and when, and you simply teach to your student's level. One complete library, every rating.

What if it's not for me?

We stand behind everything we make. If you're not happy, we're not happy. Reach out and we'll make it right.
