Unlike PSA, we don’t have procedure training after systems and before sims, just an evaluation. The squeeze comes during the 1st half-dozen sims where you’ll go from having never touched the aircraft to having run all of the big emergencies in the book, all without enough time to build an adequate foundation in normal stuff like running checklists and shooting an ILS.
As far as the abnormals go, you’ll see a lot of Bagg Smoke initiated Rejected Takeoffs, V1 cuts, and V1 engine fires that progress to engine failures before you reach 1000’. Good luck and welcome to Piedmont!
We do have 5 days of procedures training in-between systems and the sims.
