Great advice. The pilots who do well follow this advice, get ahead of the process and take charge of their own training. By now you should know how you learn. If the program is not formatted in the way you learn best, ask lots of questions.
Please do not tell the instructors how stupid this or that is. Kalitta signs your paycheck so learn it and do it the Kalitta way. It is all about standardized procedures.
The instructor scripts for each lesson are posted online. Please do not try to memorize the script. UNDERSTAND the material. If you memorize the answers in systems, and don’t understand how it works that will become an obstical to your learning in the sim.
It matters more that you know that if you have a #4 demand pump inop and shut down the #4 engine that you will lose hydraulic pressure for the #4 system when you slow to flaps 10 speed. The windmilling engine cannot spin fast enough anymore to provide hydraulic pressure. This is not written anywhere but comes from understanding how hydraulic systems and pumps in all aircraft work.
