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!

JM

Topnotch. Saves a ton of time buying this product and you can build off of it. Highly recommended.

I haven't gotten anything in the mail yet. The confirmation number isn't tracking yet

Definitely a lot of information

Just know that this isnt ready out of the box, it will still require a lot of work to make it usable for a check ride. The amount of information per lesson plan is a little overwhelming but it is an excellent resource and guide. Much of the material repeats itself but if you get familiar with each lesson plan you wont need that information in each lesson plan. Be prepared to delete a lot especially if you already understand much of the material. Use it frequently and test yourself with it, it will show if you are unfamiliar with the slides during a check ride. Very solid and you can tell whoever made it spent a lot of time dialing it in, extremely useful for getting my lesson plans where they needed to be.

Detailed

It’s very detailed would like it to have an option for google slides so I won’t have to buy PowerPoint from Microsoft

Thanks, Robert! No need to buy PowerPoint from Microsoft, the PowerPoint files work great in Slides. Just upload the individual documents to your Google Drive account and open them in Slides. Send a quick email if you have any issues and we'll get it figured out.

Great Product

Saved me immense amounts of time. Instead of spending my study time having to organize a large amount of content for weeks I got to actually practice my teaching. I like how the power points are included as well incase I have a more visual learner.

Thanks, Evan! The primary goal is to save you time and let you focus on instructing. I'm very happy to hear they helped! I'm also just finishing up a relatively significant update to the CFI & MEI PowerPoints with more visuals, tightened up text, and cleaned up formatting. You'll see an email in the next few days letting you know it's in your account. Thanks again!
