Binder Kits - Make Your Own Physical or Digital Checkride Binder

Use Your Checkride Binder Kit The Right Way

These checkride binder kits are designed to take the pain out of preparing and organizing your checkride binder. Checkride binders are important to have with you to keep your material organized and accessible. DPE's are required to see certain information prior to conducting a checkride, and these Checkride Binder Kits will ensure that you have all the materials required (and any additional material you may want to add). From preflight documents (for you and the airplane), to flight plans, aircraft information and quick notes, to Debrief note taking sections, these kits have all you need.

In today's digital age, these template kits also make great digital binders. ForeFlight has a Binders section under the Documents page where you can upload your own "digital binder" as an alternative to taking a physical binder. The great thing with ForeFlight's document uploads, you can draw and mark anywhere on the page. Whether it's filling out information digitally on your iPad screen, or taking Debrief notes at the conclusion of your checkride, you can write directly onto these template kits in ForeFlight!

Any additional resources and information you want to add is completely up to you! Feel free to add anything else necessary to assist you during your checkride.

The following steps are included in each Template Kit on Page 2:

• Print this PDF template
• Remove this page (this page is for reference only)
• Fill out the necessary areas as you prepare for the checkride (some items are day-of items)
• Replace blank pages with corresponding items noted on that page
• Ensure all other materials for your checkride are ready that are not in this binder (engine logbooks, POH, etc.)
• Place pages in plastic sleeve if desired
• Place 1st page on outside of binder if desired
• Use the debrief pages. One very important part of a good checkride is a debrief and taking good notes.
• Study, study, study! Again, this template is not a study guide. It is a template to ensure you are fully prepared with materials.
• If you plan on having a digital binder (via ForeFlight)...
  • Download the Template
  • Replace blank pages with uploaded content as requested
  • Fill out any additional information digitally if desired
  • Save the file
  • Open ForeFlight, go to the Documents page, and upload the saved file

This template serves as a guide to create an organized and streamlined checkride binder. This template does not guarantee a pass of your checkride in any way and is not a study guide.
