That's true...with the new 142 program, new students probably would have to take private over again if they don't have their multi. I started 3 years ago, long before the 142 program.

Thats what I'm finishing up right now and I've been happy with them. How'd you guys do during Speedweek?

It was CRAZY. Absolutly insane. Pilots were stacked 20 deep in the lobby all the way around the front desk yelling they had been there and ordered fuel 5 hours ago and hadn't gotten it yet. Then I had to try and be calm and say "Sir you just here 45 minutes ago, how is this possible?" Seriously...that happened several times. I'm just glad its over!

Yeah there seemed to be quite a few aircraft over on 16..I can't believe how quickly they got all the planes out after the race ended.

This was my first 500 working and we apparently had more aircraft than ever. We have a aerial shot form the 2001 500 and we were def more packed than then. Just glad its over....for now.

2 Dual Training, 2 Dual X country solo, 2 local solo, 2 Xcountry solo


If you come in with your private, thats what you do before you can move onto multi

The new 142 program at riddle is pretty much worthless as far as Im concerned. I feel that the 141 program was much more efficient and better for the student. They claim that this 142 program is saving students money because of all the sim work, but I have seen first hand that this is not very true. And as for coming in with your private, you get put into the FA133M course, which as mentioned above, consists of an oral, 2 dual x-countrys, 2 dual locals, 2 solo x-countrys, and 2 local solos, all before you can get into the multi. Even then you have to do a bunch of CPT crap, doing flows on posters at the flight line. The 141 program was much better.

get a degree in something you love, wouldnt hurt if it was non aviation so you had a fall back. go to a fun school. get as many hours as you can quickly. just my opinion. then again i have an aviation degree....

 

[Flyguy2k8]

I agree the 141 was much better. I hate the 142 here. I guess they figure that since you have you PPL multi, that when it comes to Comm multi, you will be logging that training time PIC, but i dont think its enough PIC hours to amount to anything.

But I dont care, Ive got my ratings....what do I know, i'm just a SIM instructor here.

9 PAGES?!?! Good grief, what did they do, detail the exact procedure for inserting the key and assuming the proper finger positioning for cranking?

Great avitar Pat! enjoy JOPA while you can.

Yea, tell him hi from "Boris". Tell him I'm in the reserves in KNQI and start training on the 747 for Cathay Pacific in 5 days. It will blow his mind.
He never really liked me, I talked back to him all the time and didn't take his crap.
I hope he's a good XO. I know he will be demanding, but he will praise you if you get the job done and are humble in success.
