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.

Review for The Whole Shebang

Stop reading reviews and just buy it. There is an unbelievable amount of high-quality content in this package. As the description reads, there are Word files, Excel files, PowerPoint files, PDF copies of all of it, compiled Word files with navigation and bookmarks for easy cross referencing, syllabi, extra endorsement plans, etc. I could go on for past the character limit of this review. Consider it this way: the Whole Shebang is $175. I instruct out of a small airport in a corn field so my rate is $45/hr. Is this set of documents more than I could do in just under 4 hours? Yes, and it's not even a close race. Stop reading and just buy it.

Fantastic Product

Well worth the money to save time and effort from making your own!!

That's the goal! Save you time so you can focus on flying, get an earlier checkride, and start instructing. Thanks, Gabe!

This is amazing

It’s so much content. I truly believe the hardest thing as an instructor is knowing what you need to teach and figuring out where you need to be for each student. This makes it so easy, like a checklist to help learn as an instructor and better yourself for your student or client.

Thanks, Sebastian! Really glad to hear it's working out. There's a lot of content in the works with the goal of making it even easier!
