This is the collection of lesson plans being developed by me in the pursuit of the Certified Flight Instructor certificate. I am working with instructors at the Wings of Carolina Flying Club for my training.
It should be made clear that these lessons were developed in pursuit of the CFI ticket, and each lesson maps directly to a CFI PTS section. Also note, during the time I was earning my CFI certificate, the CFI still used a PTS and has not yet switched to the ACS form, though that switch was currently in development.
In each section below the mandatory tasks are identified, as well as how many other tasks are to be selected by the examiner. These mandatory tasks are for a CFI checkride, and should not be mistakenly believed to be for any other certificate.
