New CFI here.I am not thrilled with my flight schools approach to pilot training. Basically, what happens is that students show up to their flight lesson and the instructors will just ask them "what would you like to work on today?" and the students will state what they want to do and the instructs say "ok sure" and that is what they do for their flight lesson that day.

Many of these students have over 60 hours and are still not done with their PPL. I've asked some of them if they are using a syllabus and none of them are. This is a very unstructured approach to pilot training and once I start getting assigned students I would like to have a structured syllabus to work through with them.

I did not create a syllabus during my CFI training, only lesson plans. I am looking at commercially available syllabus options but all of those are custom tailored to the specific pilot training kit that the commercial vendor sells.

I recall the FAA used to offer a suggested syllabus in either the AFH or the PHAK, but I can not for the life of me find it now. I would really like to use a syllabus that is straightforward, comprehensive, and sticks to the FAA reference material. Something that would included assigned readings prior to each lesson.
Can any CFI's out there share the syllabus they use?
