Throw Away the 100-Page Binder.
Pass Your CFI Oral With This 1-Page Template.
The exact "Anti-Binder" framework I use to teach every flight. One page. One objective. No scripts. No firehosing.
"The examiner doesn't want a script reader. They want a teacher."
I watched too many good pilots walk into their checkride carrying a binder the size of a phone book. Weeks of work. Color-coded tabs. Highlighted acronyms. And then they froze the second the examiner asked them to teach a simple maneuver.
The binder didn't fail them because it was too short. It failed them because it was built to impress — not to teach. There's a difference.
The fix is not more pages. It's fewer. One page. One objective. One safe pilot. I've been teaching that way out of Homer, Alaska — and it's the same framework I used on my own CFI checkride, which was the easiest checkride I ever took.
This is the same methodology I teach inside TotalCFI — how to practice teach real students and walk into your first lesson ready. Consider this your sneak peek.
Grab the template. Print it. Fill it out before your next lesson. You'll feel the difference immediately.
