Women in Aviation, The Ninety-Nines, and the Routes Open Today | Heather Grimes
Entire outline and free resources here: https://www.cfibootcamp.com/power-hour-lessons/women-in-aviation
Ninety-Nines International Director Heather Grimes opens with a burning airplane in the 1929 Women's Air Derby and traces how twenty competitors became a community that still funds, mentors, and connects pilots today. From Helen Richey and the WASP to Jerrie Cobb and Eileen Collins, the episode shows how access, training pipelines, and workplace structure decide who ends up in the cockpit, then profiles Carrie Worth, Christine "Grinder" Kelley, Western Air's Rolle family, and Sisters of the Skies co-founder Angel Hughes. The back half is practical: diagnosing why training stalls, turning vague feedback into action, mapping every route to the flight deck, and making a mentor request that is easy to say yes to. For CFIs, student pilots, and anyone building a pilot career.

Teaching Airplane Systems Without Overwhelming Students
Entire outline and free resources here: https://www.cfibootcamp.com/power-hour-lessons/teaching-airplane-systems-without-overwhelming-students
Most pilots know their airplane's systems at the rote level only. In this Power Hour, CFI Bootcamp explains how flight instructors can build conceptual understanding: what a system does, what normal and abnormal look like, and what to do next. You'll hear why the POH and PHAK fall short, which tools and handbooks fill the gap (including Cessna 172 electrical system simulators and UK ATPL material), how to teach one system at a time with block diagrams, and how to use the emergency checklist to connect systems knowledge to pilot action.
