Is everyone fitting within the allotted amount of sim sessions? Any tid-bits of input would be greatly appreciated!
DO NOT STUDY BEFOREHAND!
Be humble.
Pay attention in class.
Be sociable with the others, you're all in the same boat.
Be sure to lighten up and have a few jokes handy.
You WILL ace the systems test if you study the CBTs...
You WILL pass your oral if you study what the instructors tell you to study (It's a lot of info BUT the way it's laid out is VERY intuitive)
Be sure to visit Vinny's when you need to unwind. Get the double IPA.
You've got 5 FTDs and 9 sims before your type ride....you'll be VERY ready when your day comes.
