It is closer to 8 weeks from Indoc to Getting off OE. Prepare for 2 weeks of Indoc, fom/far's. Then 2 weeks of systems, after which had you the tools you'd be able to build a 1900 blindfolded. 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.
Are you sure about this? I asked him today and he said 2 weeks. I'm interviewing on Monday.
