Forms and Checklists
Take Ownership!
Having all required paperwork—logbook endorsements, written test results, lesson completion records, and aircraft documentation—fully prepared and organized is essential. It demonstrates professionalism, supports regulatory compliance, and allows the check to proceed efficiently without administrative delays. Incomplete paperwork will result in rescheduling or an automatic unsatisfactory outcome.
Weather Briefing Form
The Standard Flight Service Weather Briefing format; a structured and FAA-recognized method for obtaining official preflight weather information. It provides a consistent, logical flow of critical data to support aeronautical decision-making (ADM), risk management, and regulatory compliance.
FAA Written Test ACS/PLT Codes Form
If you have completed your FAA knowledge test, please bring this form to your progress check with all fields fully completed. Descriptions of the associated PLT/ACS codes can be found in the applicable Airman Certification Standards (ACS) or Practical Test Standards (PTS) for your rating.
Personal Minimums Checklist
A Personal Minimums Checklist is a self-assessment tool used by pilots to establish their own safety thresholds that go beyond the regulatory minimums. It helps ensure consistent, conservative decision-making by accounting for individual experience, proficiency, aircraft performance, environmental conditions, and operational complexity.
Airworthiness Summary
Ensuring aircraft inspections are completed and current is critical to maintaining airworthiness, legal compliance, and flight safety. Overlooking required inspections can lead to regulatory violations, mechanical failures, or grounding of the aircraft.
VFR Navigation Log
Paper VFR navigation logs help ensure accurate flight planning, fuel management, and situational awareness, especially in the event of equipment failure. Maintaining a complete nav log reinforces strong preflight habits and supports safe, confident decision-making in-flight.
