Flight instructor gift — a map of the airport you learned at
Most CFIs are building hours towards something else, and most students never mark the fact that someone taught them to fly. A precise diagram of the field you trained at is a specific thank-you rather than a generic one.

Who this is for
Students who've just passed, usually giving it at the end of training. Occasionally flight schools marking an instructor's departure to an airline.
Why the technical version for an instructor?
Because a CFI reads a map differently from a passenger. They know that field's runway headings, its pattern, its frequencies — they've recited them hundreds of times. A map with the real data on it is a map they'll actually examine. A decorative one they'll politely hang somewhere.
What gets added
Their name, the airport, the years they instructed there, and a line from the student. Some add the number of students signed off, or the tail number of the training aircraft everyone remembers.
What you receive
A 300 DPI JPEG and a vector PDF within 24–48 hours, with two free revisions. Most people print these at 12×18 or A3 — big enough to read the runway table, small enough for a flight-school wall or an office.
