UNDGUY, if you have any questions about the AQP program at Piedmont you can PM me. After ground school you spend 3 sessions doing APT(advanced procedure training) or something like that. One sim pair stays in charlotte to do it in the sim, other's get shipped out to an outstation and use the planes at night to run through flows, RTO procedures, etc. Then sim training starts, and that's how they weed out people. You better know how to fly instrument procedures because the AP will not be available to you.
