Next will be a week-10 days of cbt's and cpt's, which is taught with poster board cutouts on plywood and in a non motion SIMM. Sometime during this phase you will do your oral, which is about 2 hours for an FO and 3-4 for a Capt. This is all done in house at FLL. From there you'll go to flight safety at MCO for full motion Simms, I think 9 sessions + 85% checkride. 85% of the checkride is done in the SIMM. You complete the other 15% of the checkride, approaches and single engine work in the airplane at night in the pattern at MCO. You'll be in a decent motel close to flt safety for the time in MCO, 2-3 weeks depending on the training calendar. From there back to FLL for OE, which will take another week.

How to prepare: memorize ALL limitations and memory items prior to day 1. Also memorize from the far's : VERBATIM definition of an accident, incident, NTSB reporting criteria, Captains duties and FO's duties as written in the far's.
This part cracks me up. On my list of priorities that's towards the end, but I guess that's what they are asking down there. Wonder why?
