Do you need to meet Part 121.436 in order to upgrade?
thanks for those who will answer.
- Training footprint is the same regardless of where you are based at first:
--- 3.5 weeks of ground school, 3-4 weeks to complete flat panel training and sim training (six sessions each), the about 1-2 weeks of OE.
--- AFW pilots also have to do a 500 differences course (training is in the 600) which takes one day of ground and 3 sim sessions
- Due to cargo configuration, flights are 1.5 to 2 hours away, you sit for about 1.5 to 2 hours to unload/load, then fly back
- Current routes: flights from AFW to - Des Moines, Kansas City, Mobile, and Omaha.
- All 121 operations require you to meet times listed in 122.436 to upgrade, regardless of passenger or cargo ops.
