NetJets Info Prior to Training

[BeechScrub]

This seems like an appropriate thread to hijack.

Starting class at NJA on May 7. I just got my study CD in the mail yesterday. It has the info for the Ultra and the Encore. Up to this point, the only aircraft mentioned that I'll be flying is the Ultra. Do the Ultra guys fly both models? Just curious if I should be studying for both planes. If so, is there differences training after the type?

Thanks.

When the Encore was introduced, crews flew both; that's no longer the case. If you're assigned the Ultra, that's all you need to study.

Just received mine. Question, on my initial welcome letter it has me in the HS-800XP. I received a CD with both the Honewell setup and the Collins on it, the FMS CD is for the Collins setup. Is it the same CD for both? Isn't the ident for the Collins 800XP-C? I was planning on giving them a call on Mon. but I'd ask the experts first. Thanks

No need to overload. Not a person has not gotten through FSI. Too much money at stake. Can you imagine if Buffet had to report FSI failures? LOL. Your union will protect you in any case.

Really??? Hmm... Maybe you should tell that to to three guys who washed out of FSI during my intial training years ago in the Ultra.

Jonjuan, honestly, post about things you know about, not things you don't have a clue about.

Does FSI want to fail you NO, does it happen. Yes. Do people get washed out of NJA because of poor sim evals, you bet.

A guy in my Ultra initial washed out as well.

I think the class before mine had 9 out of 18 wash out of company training after they already had their type-ratings. We only lost one out of 9.
