I am in the class now.
6 days ground only.
4 days ground and sim. (long days)
2 more days of sim with no ground training.
(total 6 sessions and 1 more for the checkride)
2 days ground / system integration for the Encore differences.
2 LOFT sim sessions - not scheduled as of yet.
Total about 16 days with no brakes.
FSI will not send you manuals (I have tried too). Time is much better spent studying and knowing the NJA SOP's and call-outs. Not as cool as the flight manuals, but sure are very important.
Slacks, and tie is reqired during ground / sim and indoc in CMH, except Fri, Sat and Sun.
Great instructions, in tradition with other FSI facilities.
Terrible coffe and munchies, not in tradition with other FSI's.
You will receive a bag for your books.
A small calculator will help you a little.
A good attitude and study habits will help you a lot.
Good luck.
