LiftLine / Case study
Keep flight lessons, study, and practice tied to shared ACS tasks
LiftLine helps flight-training students and instructors keep lessons, study material, quizzes, and grades connected to the same FAA ACS task identifiers. We built a frontend-only Part 61 prototype with fictional students and instructors, browser-local progress, an instructor workspace, lesson planning, targeted practice, and an ACS-linked study experience.

One thread through training
Flight training can split across lesson planning, study, and quiz practice, making it harder to keep each activity tied to the same training task. LiftLine organizes those touchpoints around shared FAA ACS identifiers. The prototype connects lesson planning and instructor grades with student study and targeted quiz practice. Instructor judgment remains the authority for flight proficiency, while quiz performance informs knowledge-level study without creating an endorsement.
Designed around judgment
We connected lessons, study material, quizzes, grades, and readiness concepts through a shared ACS task identifier. The training store prioritizes CFI grades, while targeted practice selects questions from task focus rankings. Quiz performance returns Understand at the knowledge level, but does not stand in for a CFI grade. The student workspace, lesson-builder modal, and archived study page use separate demo fixtures, with lessons, grades, quiz attempts, and study progress persisted in browser storage.
A connected training workflow
LiftLine brings instructor planning, student study, and targeted quiz practice into one ACS-linked prototype. The interface includes a CFI student workspace, lesson-plan builder, and study experience, with browser-local progress supporting the connected demo flow.
