Fantastic product

I used the cfi PowerPoint on my checkride and my Dpe was very impressed. Will be using the cfii PowerPoint for my next ride 10/10

Awesome, thank you! SO glad to hear it, and congrats on the checkride, Kelvin! I have the professionally refreshed CFI-I PowerPoints back from the designer, but it's going to take a minute to get them checked, formatted, and in the accounts to download.

Great to use as is or to help refine your own lesson plans

Positives:
1. Extremely well organized.
2. Follow the ACS/PTS and are updated with new changes and information.
3. Can be used straight from the box, can be modified to fit a specific make/model/serial number or your own taste in narrative flow, or can be used as a base to build your own lesson plans.

Negatives:
1. To find the make/model specific content, you have to download the compiled zip file containing the individual lesson plans since the compiled lesson plans file only contains generic information. Would be nice if the model specific stuff was included in an appendix in the compiled lesson plans file.
2. Diagrams in the lesson plans are small, but still take up a bit of space. Plus... DPE isn't going to see them since they're in your lesson plans and their attention will be on the PowerPoint presentation.

Still 5 star worthy tho.

Thanks so much, Karl! Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback. I completely agree on the make/model-specific content—I've been trying to find a cleaner way to include that directly in the book version of the lessons. The challenge is that adding it makes the file too large for platforms like Google Drive, which a lot of folks rely on. But I’m working on a better solution!

As for the diagrams, I hear you there too. I like including them in the lesson plans so students can review the material without needing to open the slides—but your point about DPEs focusing on the presentation is totally valid. I’ll look at tightening things up in future updates.

Thanks again for the detailed review and kind words—really appreciate it!
