Saved me HOURS of prep for CFI. Great thing is the lessons really stick to what the FAA publishes, so nobody can really fault them. Already using them as I begin CFII. Beside getting me ready to teach, they are also great for study by themselves.
The Whole Shebang - All CFI Lessons Plans, ACS Reviews & The BSP: IFR/VFR Reference Card
I was looking for lesson plans for stage checks and mock checks. This seems to be a good resource. However, it would be great if the main ideas and important areas were somehow highlighted. Also, I would add some stages, like pre-solo and solo xc for PPL. The addition of some scenarios and examples of questions would be also awesome.
I looked at CFI lesson plans on line. Backseat Pilot lesson plans are everything that you will need. I really liked that they included hyperlinks to every FAA handbook and manual needed.
This card is great to keep on your knee board. Whether you struggle with remembering light gun signals or cloud clearance requirements, it has everything you need to stay safe and legal when you fly.
This helps mitigate the high level of stress already involved when you're preparing for a check ride! Now I can better focus on cleaning up the areas I'm not as proficient in. Thank you!
Topnotch. Saves a ton of time buying this product and you can build off of it. Highly recommended.
Great product! very useful.
Would recommend to any new or aspiring CFI.
The Back Seat Pilot was recommended to me by a new CFI and I am very happy he did. The lesson plans are well organized and thorough. Accessing the material was very easy. The lesson plans have been more helpful than I expected with making sure I covered everything in my lesson plans and check-ride prep.
CFI Lesson Pack - All CFI Lesson Plans (CFI, CFII, MEI)
Overall, excellent resource. It hits all the pts items for each task. My only complaint is some of the information is out dated. For example the airspace section says nothing of the new ads b out requirements. Also, some of the advisory circulars referenced have new versions available.
These lesson plans are well put together and have a great amount of information. I will be using them for many years to come. Definitely worth the investment.
This product was suggested to me by a DPE - that should speak volumes to you.
You can edit it to customize to your style. If you have any questions or problems Nate is there for you..even on the weekend.
Or you could go the other alternative...spend the next 8 months of your life re-inventing the wheel.
Definitely worth the money
Good afternoon everyone, as I am finishing out my commercial Multi engine add on rating, I bought backseat pilot to start preparing for my CFI and CFII… first and foremost the documents are phenomenal… you have the PDF to reference any knowledge you can think of regarding meeting the PTS. If you are someone who is looking to start building your own lesson plans, this is the perfect produce to guide you from start to finish in that process.
Well-structured in-depth information that exceeds standards!
The organized information is easy to draw from for your own lesson plans or to use by itself.
Condensed plans are good for easy reference.
I hope this resource will do me well in the future.
The Backseat Pilot team knocked it out of the park!
Very thorough and well put together; I’ve made my own CFI books for an initial and CFII in helicopters but I wanted to have a ready to go product for my airplane/CFI/CFII add on checkride. I figured getting the whole shebang was a good idea, plus it has MEI material. I’m very satisfied, thanks!
I just passed my CFI checkride! Thanks for the help!!
