Reviews from verified customers.
This CFII Binder is an absolute game-changer for aspiring CFII's. It has great organization and comprehensive content. Highly recommended!
This is a really good binder. I was a little lost on how to make one myself, not being great with formatting and building graphics and all that. This checks all the boxes and is cheaper than ground lessons. Would recommend!
I can't believe i didn't know about this thing until i was almost done with my rating, it would have been a huge help early on. Definitely worth it if you're serious about having top notch CFII lesson plans.

The CFII Binder is built to the FAA Flight Instructor Instrument Practical Test Standards (FAA-S-8081-9, Airplane and Helicopter). This PTS has not yet been superseded by an ACS, so it remains the governing standard for the instrument instructor rating, and every task in it is extensively covered.
We update our lesson plans regularly with the latest information from the FAA, and every reference is kept current as we continue to improve our products. As long as you own the digital edition, you'll always have access to the latest version.
Definitely. The digital edition is an unprotected PDF, so you can freely print it and bind it yourself. It also comes in editable Word format.
Definitely. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel. We all teach the FAA's material, which is exactly what these lesson plans are based on. Making every lesson plan yourself isn't necessary to pass the checkride or to be an effective instrument instructor. What matters most is reading and understanding the material.
Whichever lesson plans you bring are your own to teach from. What a Designated Pilot Examiner cares about is whether you can use them effectively.
