      Great product

      Average

      Very in depth, mostly follows ACS, but extremely repetitive. Seems like AI made it. It would be nice if it had a clean user friendly summary to jump from section to section of the ACS. Also missing a ton of references - it’s helpful to show each area in the study guide where you can find the answer (FAR/AIM, PHAK, ACs, etc). Helpful but too long and repetitive so 3 stars.

      Save your money. There’s free ones of better quality available.

      Thanks, Tyler. Sadly, repetitiveness is the nature of a lot of the ACS tasks, especially the Risk management sections (no AI at all, I promise). The good news is that the plan is to combine all the repetitive risk management information into a single document for each section and link the lessons to it, like we did in the new CFI & MEI ACS content. That should cut down on a lot of the overkill and still cover everything required in each task.

      As for the summary to jump between sections, it’s already built in! In Word, use the Navigation Pane, and in Adobe and other PDF readers, use the contents window or drop down. You can quickly jump between sections, and individual tasks rather than scrolling through the document.

      I totally agree that the references should be included. It will take some time to complete, but that’s on the list of additions to improve the ACS Reviews & the CFI lesson plans. Thanks again for the input!
