About

InstructDeck

Read full description

InstructDeck is a flight instruction workspace built for CFIs who want their lesson notes, endorsements, and student records to become useful training insight, not just another pile of paperwork. Traditional aviation admin tools are great at managing calendars, aircraft, dispatch, and school operations. InstructDeck focuses on the instructor’s side of the workflow: planning lessons, capturing notes, grading ACS tasks, reviewing student progress, preparing debriefs, managing endorsements, and identifying what each student should work on next. Use InstructDeck alongside your existing flight school software to keep instruction organized, data-informed, and centered on student progress. With InstructDeck, instructors can: - Capture structured lesson notes for flight and ground training - Manage student profiles and training records - Grade performance against ACS tasks and training standards - Review progress across lessons, tasks, and weak areas - Prepare focused debriefs after each lesson - Plan future training from real student history - Build oral exam and checkride prep sessions with Check Deck - Create and retain student endorsement records - Use endorsement templates, custom endorsements, or one-time freeform endorsements - Review and digitally sign endorsements with instructor identity and certificate details - Track endorsement expiration dates, renewal needs, and records that need attention - Export printable logbook inserts and proof copies - Preserve endorsement proof with timestamps, record IDs, signature hashes, version history, and audit details - Keep scheduling, notes, review, endorsements, and training context connected InstructDeck includes electronic endorsement workflows designed to support FAA AC 120-78B-aligned electronic signature and recordkeeping practices. Signed endorsement records use digital signature proof, instructor certificate profile details, immutable signed snapshots, audit history, and retained proof records to help CFIs maintain organized endorsement documentation. Instructors remain responsible for ensuring each endorsement, certificate detail, training record, and recordkeeping practice meets applicable FAA requirements, school policies, and operating rules. InstructDeck is designed for the realities of flight instruction: busy schedules, recurring lessons, student-specific trends, ACS expectations, endorsement tracking, and the need to turn every lesson into a clearer next step.
