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.

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.

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).

Everything you need

The “Whole Shebang” package has given me all the resources I need for flight instruction. The best part about the lesson plans is the ability to quickly reference lessons and the source material that is listed with it. The only “issue” I’ve had with the lesson plans, is the abundance of information that I know I won’t have time to teach.

Thanks, Daniel! Like you mentioned, there's a lot of information so easy navigation and referencing has been a big goal. I'll keep trying to streamline the information and navigation. Thanks again!
