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.

Outstanding

Very impressive and so nice to have someone who allows editing. I think that is the best part of the product. You can pick what you like and change what you want. All format, powerpoint for everything. I can't even think the amount of time went into it and the time to keep it up. WELL DONE.

Comprehensive information and well organized lesson plans

These lesson plans and presentation files provide an excellent foundation for crafting your own adapted/custom plans. I’ve found the lesson plans to also be super helpful study guides. The notes are very thorough and the linked references to FAA documents make this layout very valuable.
My CFI instructor is having me condense a lot of information and make sure I follow the exact order of the ACS, so there is some editing for me to do, but I'd rather have too much info and whittle it down than the alternative of formatting it from scratch.

Thank you so much, James! I'm so glad to hear things are working out for you. Every instructor has their own approach so our goal is to provide the most solid foundation possible and hand it over to you from there. Best of luck with the training and don't hesitate to let me know if I can help with anything going forward. Thanks again!

Very thought out and detailed

Like most who buy this product, I needed lesson plans for my CFI class and will eventually need them for my checkride. The lesson plans are very detailed and cover an incredible amount of knowledge. I appreciate the variety of formats, too. I look forward to making them even more tailored to me and my students and to plans and updates from The Backseat Pilot.

Thanks, Jodi! Don't hesitate to reach out with any suggestions or questions. Always happy to help and improve the content.

Excellent material.

Very thorough material, you won’t miss any points when using this stuff. PowerPoints are great too, and the best part is the free updates when new info comes out! Thanks backseat pilot!

Thank YOU, Robert! More updates on the way (professionally refreshed PowerPoints are next).
