First 121 Job. How much did you Study?

[Yeah]

Didn't you all have the tests to study from before you took em? Know the memory items and limitations cold and you will be fine. Add on the profiles and call outs for the sim and the whole deal is a piece of cake. I never could understand what everyone gets all stressed out about.

A man after my own heart....

During basic intox, er I mean indoc you should spend your post happy hour time getting the memory items and limitations down pat because anyone that is qualified should have no trouble with the basic stuff. Then work on the flows and callouts. Towards the oral you should be able to look at any switch or light on the panel and explain it's function, power source, emergency operation, and any limits.

1st airline, 2-3 hrs
2nd, 1-2 hrs
3rd, maybe 1, depended what was on tv
Next job, ALL NIGHT if that's what it takes!!!

Best thing to do is play "Stump the Chump" with you buddies over multiple pitchers of beer. Does much better than craming your nose in a book for multiple hours.

Happy hour.....then continued on for some nights.....drank at least 1-5 hours.. 30 mins or so of TV......and prayed for no hangover.....

Oh yea.....as I have acquired more airlines, the drinking hours have increased...no more tv...and just pray for a not tooooo bad hangover...

Memory items?!?

I thought you said there were just a few buttons .. land, take off, go to destination, go to alternate and stuff like that. Isnt that all airlines pilots do?

Mr. I-Meister (aka vik),

this comes from a guy who surfs pr0n so much he cant stop and reply to his messages. i cant wait to see you try to stop surfing pr0n long enuff to study your memory items...

1st day of employment I hacked the Bombardier mainframe computer and then jammed a large spike type receptacle to the base of my brain and a few minutes later I was type rated in all Canadair aircraft.
