Well, I haven't worked for either of those two, but a good starting point would definitely be 135 regs: WX req's, alternate mins, fuel, etc. Know a lot about weather in general, be current on instrument skills, and if they give you a POH or anything about the plane, memorize that too.

The aforementioned 135 stuff, plus duty times. And again as said before, anything they send you, know it cold (flows, checklists, maneuver procedures).

Be sharp on instrument skills. Be sharp on instrument skills. Be sharp on instrument. Ad nauseum.

I am guessing they are gonna review 61/91. Make sure you know that well so you don't have to spend time relearning and more time enjoying your training

You can browse over 135 but chances are your gonna spend time going wtf mate.

Don't read 135 regs unless you know which ones apply!

You'll get very frustrated, and that's what their groundschool is for.

I can't speak for others, but at AMF they send you a list of pertinent61/91/135 regs to know for the ground school in your hire packet. I wouldn't worry about it until you get on with somebody, and have them explain any confusing 135 regs and how they blend with the company's Ops Manual.

Dude please please please PM that list to me.

I asked this about 2 weeks ago in the training forum and was told to buck up and read the regs? What gives?

At AirNet 6 years ago, they said don't worry about 135 regs before training. they will explain it all and make sense of it for you. Stick with Parts 61, 91, and the AIM. Study up on missed approch procedures from a circling approach, 5-4-20.

If you are able, do some flight training in which you enter a hold and do all the maneuvers, slow flight, stalls, steep turns, while flying the hold. AirNet will most likely do that in training at APE VOR.

But at the same time, study some of those mentioned in the above posts. The first 135 freight company I worked for did teach us everything we needed to know, and they're nothing huge like AirNet, etc. The second I was at did not teach us regs. And it wasn't just the fact that I had prior 135 experience as to why they didn't teach me...it didn't really matter to me, but they never taught it to the newbies either. Yikes. Like these guys are saying though, I'm sure at a big enough place like AirNet or AMF they would help you with it.
