Help Center
How can we help?
What is CFI Notebook?
CFI Notebook is an aviation training resource with articles, lesson plans, quizzes, scenarios, references, and optional account tools for organizing and tracking training.
Does CFI Notebook replace an instructor or official FAA material?
No. CFI Notebook supports study and training, but it does not replace instruction from an authorized instructor, current FAA publications, regulations, aircraft manuals, or sound aeronautical decision-making.
How do I create and verify an account?
Create an account with your email address, callsign, and password. We will email you a verification link. Select Get Started in that message to verify your email and unlock saved account features.
What can I do with an account?
An account can retain quiz and scenario history, syllabus progress, assignments, saved content, notes, instructor or student connections, and notification preferences. Available tools depend on your selected roles and training profiles.
Can I select more than one training profile?
Yes. You may select multiple certificate and category combinations. Your dashboard keeps progress organized separately for each selected syllabus.
What happens when I connect with an instructor?
When a student is assigned to an instructor, syllabus progress becomes instructor controlled. The student can still view progress, assignments, and completed work.
How do I reset my password?
Use Forgot password? on the account login page. If an active account matches the submitted email address, CFI Notebook will send a secure password-reset link.
How do I change notification emails or unsubscribe?
Open Notification Settings in your account to choose which messages may arrive by email. You can also use the unsubscribe link in any CFI Notebook email to update individual choices or unsubscribe from all notification emails.
What happens if I deactivate my account?
Deactivation prevents normal account access but retains the account record and associated training history. Contact CFI Notebook if you need help with a deactivated account.
