ACS-aligned · No sign-up required
Every EGH Aviation lesson follows the same structure — so you always know exactly where you stand against the examiner's standard.
Choose the certificate you're preparing for. Each track is independently structured with no prerequisites between courses.
Lessons are organized exactly as they appear in the ACS — by Area, then Task, then element. No guessing what's testable.
Every lesson explicitly maps to ACS risk (R-codes) and skill (S-codes) elements — the exact standard your DPE uses.
Each lesson ends with examiner-style oral questions and model answers, mirroring the format of a real practical test.
One-on-one flight instruction and free study guides, built to help pilots succeed.
All guides are free — always. If they helped you pass your checkride, a tip is never required but always appreciated. It keeps new content coming.
I'm a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI, CFII, MEI, AGI, IGI) and the founder of EGH Aviation. Before aviation, I spent ten years teaching mathematics and economics, worked in project management, and analyzed commodities markets — experience that shapes how I break down complex concepts and brings a structured, leadership-driven approach to every lesson.
EGH Aviation exists for one reason: to train professional pilots, not just checkride passers. Every lesson plan, every ground school session, and every hour in the aircraft is built to prepare you for a real career in the flight deck.

Book Instruction →Practical guides, regulatory breakdowns, and technique deep-dives published weekly for advancing pilots.
Most applicants know the ACS exists. Few understand how a DPE actually sequences tasks during an oral, what risk codes they're actively watching for, and why "I'd look it up" is sometimes the right answer. This week's guide breaks down DPE evaluation methodology from the instructor side of the table.
The scan collapses differently for every pilot. Understanding the cognitive failure modes before you're in the sim chair makes partial panel work feel systematic instead of reactive.
Two-way radio failure in IMC is one of the most-tested oral topics and one of the least-understood. Here's the regulatory logic behind the altitude and route rules, and how to explain it to a student in 90 seconds.
There are ten factors that affect Vmc and most applicants can list them. What they can't do is explain why each one either raises or lowers the speed — and that's exactly what an MEI checkride probes.
Holding a commercial certificate doesn't mean you can charge for any flight. Part 119, 135, and 91 carve-outs create a maze of privileges and limitations that every CPL applicant must be able to navigate cold.
Time, Turn, Throttle, Talk, Track. The 5-T method eliminates missed steps during procedure turns and holding entries — and teaching it correctly to students is an examiner signal that you fly with discipline.
DPEs don't just ask if you have a lesson plan — they ask you to justify every element of it. This guide walks through what a passing CFII lesson plan looks like and what evaluators are actually checking for.
