From my three long term training events at Envoy, in my classes, I know of two that did not make it through the type ride and one that got EXTENSIVE additional time in IOE before being washed out. One that didn’t make it through the type ride was attitude. He expected everything to be spoon fed.

I also know of several that got additional time. At least one quite a bit. But he was working hard to stay with the program. And he made it through. Your attitude and work ethic is important.

One thing I will say, and I have said it quite a few time here.

Depending on how you were hired, you may or may not have had a tech interview and most didn’t do any kind of flight eval. Make sure you are thoroughly IFR proficient. The training program wasn’t designed to get people up to speed. You have to be at that point when you start. Not saying you need to understand kets and FMS systems, but you need to be able to fly an IFR flight with out help. And if you haven’t used Jepp charts, you need to do some self study there as well.
