Preparing for a checkride is intimidating, and for many, most don’t know where to start. I began looking for checkride preparation videos on YouTube when I stumbled across Todd’s channel. There I watched for hours taking notes, researching more on topics, and continued to stay engaged with Todd’s positive and entertaining approach to learning. When I learned Todd offered “Mock Checkride” examinations, I quickly got in contact with him, and before I knew it, I was sitting at the table with Todd over Zoom. As we began the exam, Todd gave me a warm welcome, established realistic expectations, and set my mind at ease. Throughout the entire process, Todd kept enthusiastic and was always there to clarify questions and even help improve my answers. He provided me with his own resources, references, and feedback I needed to succeed. After our session, he even followed up with me to see how my checkride went. His attention to detail and follow-through made me value this experience even more. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Todd at the Private, Instrument, and Commercial levels, and after 3 first-time passes, I’m forever grateful for the insightful experience Todd has given me. Todd is a highly knowledgeable industry professional who loves sharing his insight with others. I would recommend Todd to anyone who wants to enhance their flight training experience.

Hi Todd, I just want to thank you for these videos. I watched your FOI series twice and read the aviation instructors handbook as you suggested. I passed my CFI Initial checkride today with flying colors and my examiner mentioned how impressed she was with my FOI knowledge in the debrief. Your videos made studying the FOI material fun and I really appreciate that. Thanks for everything!

Preparing for my CFI Watched regs endorsement FOI vids ...I don’t know what will be the result of my checkride but the content and the way you have presented everything has definitely boosted my confidence and knowledge. I thank you for putting this up on this platform and having it so easily accessible to everyone. This is not a one-time watch its a watch for life..thank you

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom, sir! You're a terrific instructor—I strive to be like that!

Todd this was the first video I watched of yours, I've almost seen them all. Today I passed my CFI checkride! You helped me understand and enabled me to effectively teach these subjects to my DPE. Couldn't have done it without you. Great videos!

Hey Todd, just passed my CFI checkride, your videos helped me a lot, just want to thank you for your efforts!

Todd, just passed my CFI checkride this week because of your videos on the FOIs! Thanks for the thorough instruction and for projecting your passion for not only aviation but being a truly professional flight instructor.

Description absolutely fantastic video and review, so very well explained :) I was going through all the reqs with my instructor the other day, and your video would have made things even easier for us. I've just started my Commercial training, and your video is one I will be saving and sharing for sure with other pilot friends. thank you!

Awesome and great videos man! Honestly, I think your channel is extremely underrated and will refer my fellow pilots to this channel. CFI checkride coming soon so wish me luck!

I really appreciate you making these videos. I’m working on getting my CFI now and your YouTube videos are exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you for this. I'm in the middle of my CFI training and cannot turn the corner with confidence in presenting. I've honestly thought about quitting multiple times but keep pushing forward. I did a flight review with another instructor, and he brought in power points in a binder for us to review. I didn't think about doing this for studying.

Just passed my CFI first time w/ Ed Maxwell @ APA last Sunday. A big thanks to you for making these videos! Excellent aid in studying, great perspective since at the end of the day we don't know what we don't know ;)

Todd this is fascinating. Thank you! I'd be so much worse off without your gems of knowledge. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!

Your channel is very helpful. I got my CFI yesterday. By using the way to remember and explain from what you suggest. Thank you, Todd!

I just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU for your CFI Pro Course. I am a Patreon sub too, but your videos have helped me so much. It is incredible. I have recommended you to all the other CFI candidates I have been studying with. TODAY, I can call myself a CFI. I passed the checkride with ease. I know your videos and workbook (I love it ) helped me learn and retain the information. I am 100% going to spread the word about your videos, and your workbook. I just wanted to reach out and say thank you, so so so much.

Thank you so MUCH for your effort to produce this wonderful and straightforward video to let all the struggling CFI applicants understand how can we produce a quality lesson plan!
