Who this is for
A current CFI who needs a structured endorsement and recordkeeping workflow
A searchable, source-linked planning deskbook based on current Part 61 and AC 61-65K. Templates require instructor verification before use.
The problem
Endorsement mistakes happen when the sample wording gets separated from the rule, the prerequisites, or the expiration clock.
This product turns that ambiguity into a visible sequence of checks, decisions, records, and instructor conversations.

Workflow
How it works
- Complete the status and evidence pages before trying to solve the problem from memory.
- Work the decision and scenario pages using current official sources and the documents for the actual operation or aircraft.
- Mark uncertain items for a qualified instructor, physician, examiner, or FAA resource as applicable.
- Carry the action or handoff page into the next real conversation and update the plan afterward.
