FAQ

What format are the files?

Spreadsheets are .xlsx files that open in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. Guides and checklists are PDFs. Each download includes a quick-start guide.

Are these official FAA forms or instruction?

No. They are study, planning and practice tools built from public FAA sources. Always use your aircraft's POH/AFM and work with your CFI.

Where do I buy, and what about refunds?

On Gumroad (and Etsy where listed). Checkout, delivery and refunds are handled by those platforms under their terms.

Do I get updates?

If a file is updated, the new version is posted to the same listing, and you can download it from your Gumroad or Etsy library.
