Got new training instructions:




Hello New Spirit Pilots,



Some exciting new changes are coming to Spirit’s Training Program. Outlined in this email is what you should expect for your training experience here at Spirit Airlines.



Prior to arriving for training, all limitations, memory items, and proficiency items should be committed to memory. An assessment will be conducted to establish your level of knowledge on these areas and the flows.
Some aircraft flows are changing effective July 8th.
The follow flows should be reviewed, but not a focus for committing to memory. New flows will be similar to existing flows, but easier to follow.
Preliminary Cockpit Flow
Preflight Flow – Captain and First Officer
Before Start Flow – Captain and First Officer
Before Takeoff Flow – First Officer ONLY
All remaining flows not listed above should be committed to memory as they will remain unchanged.
Emergency Training will occur on the last day of the first week of training. This training requires you to have a bathing suit for a wet ditching simulation.
After the first two weeks of ground school, you will be sent home for one week to have a self-study of systems knowledge.
You have to vacate the hotel room after the first two weeks. A new hotel room will be provided to you upon return from the week of self-study.
Computer Based Training (CBT) courses will be provided through SumTotal. These courses cover the remainder of Basic Indoctrination and provide the foundation for Systems training. They must be completed during the week to prepare for Cockpit Systems Integration (CSI) training.
Your ground instructor will be tracking your progress through the systems CBTs. He will also be available during normal business hours to answer any questions or assist with any issues you may have during this self-study week. THIS IS NOT A WEEK OF VACATION.
AOM Vol. 1 may also aid in your studies.
The recommended order for completing CBTs is:
