Hey guys, just getting my ducks in a row here. Hope you don't mind my recent question bombardment, but seems like everytime I take a shower I come up with more questions about my upcoming adventure.
1. How many checkrides am I looking at in UPT? Also, are you military types like the rest of us? What I mean by that is do you get nervous and make silly little mistakes on checkflights, and if you do, is there any lee-way or is near perfection expected?
2. Callsigns...Can't say I'm not looking forward to this, but when do you get it? I have heard it's the first few weeks of UPT when you screw something up, do something stupid etc, and get a name. But then I saw in that fighter pilot show that the pilots seemed to come in "nameless".
3. Finally, for those of you who have gone through part 141 training, how does the experience compare? I just finished at flightsafety and am wondering how military/civilian basic flight training compare.
Thanks guys!
I'll have more questions I'm sure after my next shower
