Purpose

What this workflow does

Turns a technical aviation topic into a structured lesson outline aimed at a defined audience, with the points that most often get explained wrongly flagged for extra care.

Timing

When it is useful

When planning a video, article or lesson and you want structure and audience calibration before you start writing.

Method

Step by step

01Define the audience and what they already know. Precision here determines everything downstream.
02Name the single idea the piece must land. One per piece.
03Generate the outline with the prompt below.
04Write the content yourself from primary sources. The outline is scaffolding, not a draft.
05Verify every technical claim, figure and regulatory reference against a primary source before publishing.

Copy and use

The prompt

Help me outline an educational piece on an aviation topic.

TOPIC: [TOPIC]
AUDIENCE: [WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW]
FORMAT: [VIDEO / ARTICLE / LESSON / SHORT]
LENGTH: [APPROXIMATE LENGTH OR DURATION]
THE ONE IDEA THEY MUST LEAVE WITH: [ONE SENTENCE]

Produce:
1. An outline with sections, and for each section the specific point it makes and roughly how much of the total length it should take.
2. The prerequisite knowledge the audience needs, and which of it I should build in rather than assume.
3. The three or four points on this topic that are most commonly explained incorrectly or oversimplified, and what the precise version is.
4. Where a worked example, diagram or figure would carry more weight than prose, and what it should show.
5. A list of every technical claim in the outline that I must verify against a primary source before publishing, with the type of source needed for each.
6. Anything about this topic where you are uncertain or where your information may be outdated.

Rules:
- Do not write the content. Produce structure and flag the risks.
- Do not supply regulatory citations or numerical values. List them as items I must source and verify.
- Be specific about what makes this topic hard for this particular audience.

Your input

What you must provide

The topic and the format.
A precise description of the audience and their existing knowledge.
The single idea the piece must land.

Before you rely on it

Verification steps

Verify every technical claim against a primary source before publishing.
Check all regulatory citations against the current text on eCFR.
Have someone with operational experience in the subject review the piece.
State clearly in the published piece that it is educational and does not replace regulations or approved manuals.

Boundaries

Aviation safety limitations

Published aviation content influences how people study and how they work. The obligation to be right sits with you, not the tool.
The model may produce a confident but incorrect technical explanation. An outline that reads well is not evidence that it is accurate.
Its knowledge of regulations and procedures may be out of date, and it cannot tell you reliably when it is.

Verify before use · AI-generated information must always be verified against current regulations, approved manuals, official weather products and company procedures.
