Three words of advice:

Make your own.

Dead serious. Wrote all of my own syllabuses (syllabi?) and even got them approved for 141 programs. It was definitely worth it. You can get them printed, bound, etc. and charge the student cost for them (at most $5-6) if you want to.

Grab a soda, a nice big table, a big legal pad, a FAR/AIM and get to work. Eventually you'll want to type it up on MS Word or something like that, but it's at little easier to proof and make sure everything is covered if you just write it down first.

Think of it another way. You buy a Jeppesen or Gleim product and you'll have to spend a bunch of time learning it anyway (or you could just stumble through with a lot of "huh...they want us to do that huh?" - very inspiring), or you could write your own and know it inside-out.
