Lesson plans are very detailed, reference source documents, and serve as a good review and info source for the instructor as well as the student.
Customer service is OUTSTANDING! I had 2 minor issues that were resolved within minutes outside of normal business hours. When is the last time you've seen that?
The lessons plans in the PowerPoints lack in information and can be improved in quality. The ppts do not include all the information that needs to be taught.
All you need and then some
It's a huge help. Will make my CFI class so much easier
Highly recommend. Has both a lengthened version and condensed versions, INCLUDING PowerPoint which was my selling point. Follows the current CFI PTS task by task, has made my life 1000% better and more efficient for studying.
I purchased this product to assist my studies for my CFI, CFII and MEI. So far this is exactly what I was looking for! The lessons follow the PTS which makes it easy to ensure you’re studying everything.
Great job! I will definitely refer this product!
The ACS Review is a fabulous product and an invaluable part of getting checkride ready.
Good plans

CFI Lesson Pack - All CFI Lesson Plans (CFI, CFII, MEI)
The content is good, but the layout is awful and hard to organize. I was hoping it wouldn't be just one huge document/slide show and instead the subjects would be individually organized. I feel like using this has made more work for me.
Hi Mary, I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with the layout. I completely agree that one huge document without any organization or navigation would be extremely frustrating. The good news is that the navigation that’s built into all our documents does exactly what you're hoping for and organizes the lessons by subject as shown in the PTS.
There are a few reasons why the products are delivered as a single document. First, it eliminates having dozens and dozens of individual lesson plan and PowerPoint files on your computer (between the CFI, CFII and MEI you'd be sifting through well over 200 folders and files). Second, it allows the documents to be more dynamic, linking content between different lessons. And third, we can create navigation that makes it just as easy, if not easier, to access the lessons needed. On top of that, the navigation works in just about any program/app, including Word, Adobe, ForeFlight, GoodReader, and Books.
To open the navigation in Word, select the View Tab, and then select Navigation Pane in the box labeled Show. In Adobe, from the View menu, select Navigation Panes and then Bookmarks. In the different apps on your iPad use the navigation icon (placement varies). You can also find this information on page 2 of the lesson plans, and with more details/pictures on our website under FAQ & Info > eBook Info.
As for the PowerPoints, the navigation doesn’t work quite the same way, but the instructions are also on slide 2 of the document.
Again, a single huge document with no navigation would be unacceptable and unusable, so I totally understand your frustration. The navigation should make the documents a whole lot easier to use! Send an email over to info@thebackseatpilot.com if you’re having more issues or need any more details. Happy to help!
This information and power point presentations are a great starting point for CFI lessons. It gets all of the necessary figures on words on the screen. Then it allows you to modify the content for your needs as an instructor. Some little quirks to it, but overall I am impressed with the information and help.
Thanks Braxton! We're always trying to improve the lessons, even the little quirks. Feel free to send anything like that over to info@thebackseatpilot.com and we'll see if we can't get it cleaned up for you. Thanks again!
As a CFI this product has helped me provide next level instruction to my students. Worth every penny!
Information provided for this package was insane! Well worth every penny
