Power point 2-3x, daily memorization of limitations, checklists, flows, flash cards starting 2 weeks prior oral and sim. Read almost the whole darn GOM (or whatever the new thing is called).

So far so good, but above all I was very much hoping for 2-3 lessons in that trainer before even going to Miami. It does not even cost them much to fire the thing up or they did fire sell it already along with the trashcans? I think I could do it without it, but "I think I can" is not the mindset I like to walk into a sim ride or approach my work in this business.

The FOTM says that if you are not furloughed for over a year all you get is 3 days of ground school, a PC warm up and a PC.

After a year, there is a Requal course.
