I was wondering, the first packet of information that I received from HR with the turbine transition manual, is all of these forms to be filled out prior to showing up on class date? There are a lot that I have questions on but do not wish to bother HR with stuff like that unless I really need to, knowing that they are busy. Also, I am a very low time pilot. What can I do to make sure that I am as prepared as possible when showing up for class, if anything? I have a lot of down time right now and want to be as prepared as I can. Thanks all for your help and I look forward to working with you.
Any forms you receive before class should be filled out in advance. On day one they will be going over everything so don't worry too much. You should be getting your FOM and a review packet in the mail before class. That will be some good material to dive into so your not overloaded during Indoc week. It will help to get a grasp on the 1 nav/2 nav rule, Exemption 3585, and duty/rest times. Don't worry about anything related to the airplane just yet. Just take it as it's introduced. Welcome aboard.
