excellent product with a lot of information, very helpful

Thank you! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or issues going forward (info@thebackseatpilot.com)

The s turns and turns around a point powerpoints were a mistake... they were both turns around a point... please fix this.

Also, many of your powerpoints weren't formatted correctly, aka, some pictures overlapped the text, etc. Did you guys not proofread your materials?

Otherwise, solid powerpoints despite having to clean them up for errors/cleanliness.

Hey John, thanks for the info! I’m on both of the issues you mentioned. The Turns Around a Point and S-Turns duplicate was caught pretty quickly and the new documents were uploaded a little while back. As for the formatting, there were some changes made to the theme as a whole that for some reason didn’t properly take effect on a handful of slides which lead to the image and text overlap. There weren't many and they weren't overly prominent so they went undetected. I just went through every slide though and fixed/updated the formatting, and added more visuals and tightened up some of the text. You'll see the new updates in your account shortly. Thanks again!
