Endorsement Reference

Part of Aviator's Toolkit — free offline tools for GA pilots

Endorsement Reference is an offline lookup tool for all sample endorsements in FAA AC 61-65K (November 2025). Find the right endorsement, read the CFR citation, and copy the template text — no internet required.

This app is for looking up endorsements. It doesn't record endorsements you've given. Use CFI Endorsement Log for that.

Search & Filter

Type in the search bar to filter in real time. Search matches against the title, description, CFR reference, keywords, and template text.

Use the category chips to narrow by section (Solo Flight, Knowledge Test, Practical Test, etc.). Search and category filter work together.

Use the Instructor / Examiner pills to filter by who issues the endorsement. Tap ★ Favorites to show only bookmarked endorsements.

Try searching 61.93 or solo xc to quickly find what you need.

Viewing an Endorsement

Tap any card to expand it. Each endorsement shows:

ID and title (e.g., A.1)
CFR reference
Description — what it certifies
When to use — the specific scenario that calls for it
Sample template text from AC 61-65K
Who issues it: CFI, DPE, or either

Copying Templates

Tap COPY on any endorsement to copy the template text to your clipboard. Fill in the bracketed placeholders before signing — student name, date, aircraft type, and your CFI certificate info.

AC 61-65K language is FAA-recommended, not mandated. You may use different wording as long as it satisfies the applicable regulation.

CFI Endorsement Log

Endorsement Reference and CFI Endorsement Log are companion tools. Use this app to look up the right language; use CFI Endorsement Log to record that you gave the endorsement (student name, date, aircraft, logbook page).

Data Source

All content comes from FAA AC 61-65K, Certification: Pilots and Flight and Ground Instructors, November 2025 edition. Data is bundled in the app — no network requests for content.

Advisory Circulars are updated periodically. Verify against the current AC 61-65K on the FAA website before using an endorsement for an official purpose.

Works fully offline after the first load. Install via Add to Home Screen or Install in your browser for standalone use.
