Your pre-employment flight evaluations are conducted at KAFW correct?
At least the maneuvers that you are being evaluated on are the type of flying that you may be responsible for as a GA ASI and the same profile that you will fly when you return for you proficiency flying IIRC.
My part of the flight program recently used KAFW Flight Program for our pre-employment evaluation too and it has NOTHING to do with the type of flying that we do or that is important to us; it was just done due to available people and assets.
I wonder how much longer KAFW Flight Program is even going to be around. Two of the guys that use to fly there were with us for awhile and they were both of the opinion that the end is in sight for the program.
