But I have heard that the sim evaluation is tough and really determines al ot. I have no CRJ Sim time so going from flying a Seneca and an Aztec to a RJ sim for a job will be tough. Is there anywhere that I can go to get a couple of CRJ sim lessons before going in?
save yourself some cash and try to get ahold of some memory items and limitations! and get ahold of ms flight sim and play around with the CRJ and go over all the flows! most of the skills required to pass initial training are memorization and task management! Dont get me wrong you have to have some "stick" skills, but the majority of the initial training is knowing the profiles, call outs, instrument approach procedures, and memory items. Getting to know the flight guidance panel is a biggie too! if money is no issue, go ahead and get some sim time. but many I know and myself included made it through 121 training coming from flight instructing in semenholes and senecas!
PS If you have a Girlfriend/Boyfriend, change your number during training, almost every person i know that has busted an oral or checkride spent way too much time on the phone instead of studying!
