Qref syllabi, checkride checklists now free

By Janice Wood · June 1, 2011 ·

As a founding member and an early provider of member benefits of the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (SAFE), Qref is now offering PDF versions of its syllabi and checkride checklists at no charge.

Acting on a recommendation from SAFE’s training reform symposium, Qref joins ASA, Sporty’s, and SAFE in providing free syllabi. According to a Qref representative, “We praise ASA’s and Sporty’s lead on this and challenge other courseware providers to similarly offer online versions of their syllabi at no charge. With a wide selection of syllabi freely available, instructors and students should be able to find syllabi that work best for them. All of aviation will benefit from this.”

Qref syllabi address all FAA requirements as well as the reality of learning to fly in today’s complex and highly regulated environment. With a combined 30 years of flight instructing experience, the syllabi have been excerpted from Flight Instructor Notebooks created by Bridgette Doremire and Gene Hudson. Additionally, Qref’s Instrument Rating Syllabus was designed for use with flight simulators, allowing students to practice in a simulator before proving their knowledge and skills in flight, reducing flight hours. The free Qref syllabi and checklists for Private, Instrument, and Commercial are available here
