Cfi syllabus

Those are regulatory minimums, not essential references. A well designed syllabus contains essential references, the lesson objectives and performance standards for each lesson. The syllabus operates as your quality control as a CFI.

If you are providing quality flight instruction, you are following a syllabus on every lesson with every student. You are also using a training folder.
No. You're wrong. They are essential references because they are regulatory minimums. The student pilot and CFI must know the essential CFR14 FAR references because they explain the regulatory minimums. I'm glad you aren't employed as one of my flight instructors. Go back to school pal....

Indeed, let’s go back to school. Other than aviation, where/when did you get meaningful training/education in life when courses didn’t minimally have a syllabus, lesson plans, and grade records.

Today a private pilot certificate costs $12,000 -$15,000 (when there is an accurate accounting of all the costs), which is about what most people spend for a semester at a university.

Why do aviation students deserve less from an CFI and why do you believe a CFI can deliver quality training without these products when every professional aviation and non-aviation training program in the US uses them?

I've been flying since 1986. I've been a CFII, MEI for 25 years now. I've designed, written, implemented every imaginable lessons plan, syllabus, TCO, pilot training curriculum, and detailed exam systems. I've conducted numerous successful seminars for thousands of students over the years. I've worked with the FAA. I maintain a perfect safety record. My results speak for themselves. I'm just scratching the surface. Take your rookie attitude elsewhere. You're not the first "troll" Ive called out....and you probably won't be the last.
Btw ..if you took the time to look at an ACS, you would have noticed that there are many essential references to FARs for the student and CFI to "reference". Suck it up buttercup. You've been exposed.

Rookie indeed. Sorry chap, but I been flying since 1979. The difference between the 2 of us is I improved over the decades and you’re still stuck in 1986 doing it the same way is was done 49 years ago.

As far as experience, I put my time over the 35 years instructing and the 15 providing instruction in a military contract and university up with what you claim you have done. I am glad you wrote all those documents, sorry you failed to recognize their importance.

I doubt you could teach an academic ground school today for a certificate or rating and why you believe you could fail to provide a syllabus in 2025 is baffling. The flying portion is no different. Your students need to know what you are gong to teach every lesson, the completion standards and their progress in the program other than “you are doing good”.

The other issue I find a bit concerning is you argue in favor of a less professional method of instructing, yet the standards and knowledge since 1986 has increased significantly.
