[QUOTE=ERJ135;938951]When you get your books, memorize the limitations, EPC memory items. Start on the first night. After the first week, once those are committed to memory, work on profiles. Put the poster on the wall. Get it down flat. Following thoses three things will have you well prepared for the Oral and Sim. The ground school will teach you the systems you will need to know for the other half of the oral.


Well done, except I'm not sure how long ago you did this class. I have recently just got out of long term, and just finished with the sim. The new program with the CBT training at home really cuts down on ground school, and aircraft systems. The philosophy is you complete the CBT for five days before ground school, and you know the systems. Most of ground school is divided into FM1 stuff, a computer lab for the FMS, and CSI. A total of 12 days in class of which the last few days is like recurrent on the aircraft systems, and some oral review. Not like in days past where you had that extra five days in the class room to cover the material beyond the systems book.

So my suggestion is like yours, memory items, limitations down cold. Then finish that CBT asap, then dig in to the AOM2 hard, and well learn as much as you can on your own. The big thing for CA and FO on the oral is the cockpit safety scan and the final cockpit scan to be down. This is covered in CSI too.
