CFI Endorsement Generator Tool!

Are you a CFI who is always having to look up endorsements for your students? Don’t have them all memorized and don’t trust the ones in every logbook out there?

Me too. So I made a tool for all of us that you (and I) can use to put your student’s information in, select the endorsements you need, and pdf or print them. They can be put in a student’s training file or logbook as you then desire.

All you need to do is pick the endorsements you need, enter the instructor and student details once, and it builds a ready-to-sign page you can print or save as a PDF. You can stack several endorsements into one document, and the aircraft and date can still be adjusted on each one if they aren’t all the same. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored. It runs in your browser. The signature line is left blank, so you still sign it the way you always have.

The wording in all of these has been highly vetted against 14 CFR Part 61 and AC 61-65 and is included in another logbook product I did with Gleim Publications ( Gleim Career Pilot Training Logbook ) so we are pretty darn confident they will give you all you need.

Select the ones you need, print them, then sign it as the CFI.

Simple Ground Training Logging for Available

Want a simple tool that you can use as a CFI to log ground training you provide your students and then print it an insert it in their training files?

Well here you go.

Click here or the graphic to go to the page where this lives all the time, something you can use every time you give ground training. It lets you log what you did, the CFI name and information, print it or save it to PDF, and put it in their training records.

Simple.

Just type out what you did, sign it, and put it in their files.

It will make the documentation of their training (and proving that to a DPE) easier if you do it.
