CFI Lesson Plans

Everything you need

The “Whole Shebang” package has given me all the resources I need for flight instruction. The best part about the lesson plans is the ability to quickly reference lessons and the source material that is listed with it. The only “issue” I’ve had with the lesson plans, is the abundance of information that I know I won’t have time to teach.

The Whole Shebang
