Setting up Waypoint as a CFI

One question on the way in. The CFI path sets up an instructor account with a roster and signing, not a student tracker.

An email and a password. Free for instructors, no card, about a minute.

Your name, school, and CFI certificate number. That’s what stamps every endorsement with full AC 61-65K provenance.

Share your Waypoint email. Each student enters it during their own onboarding, and they appear on your roster automatically.

Every student on one screen, each with a readiness chip and what’s waiting on you, checkride-clean, on track, or pre-solo.

Open any student. Every 14 CFR §61.109 requirement is checked against the reg, so nothing slips before the checkride.

When a student logs or imports a flight, it lands in your review queue. One tap verifies the flight and its §61.107 skills together.

Endorsements unlock in order. Waypoint shows what’s ready to sign and what’s still gated, with the supporting flights.

The current AC 61-65K wording, your certificate number, and the date, filled in for you. The record is immutable and auditable.

When the hours and the paperwork both hold up, the student shows checkride-clean. That’s the whole job, start to finish.
