Should I be bringing things like the FAR/AIM? Or do you know if they will provide all the literature that one would be expected to study/test on?
Thanks guys!
I'm in my second week here, and I'd say you really just need to show up with your favorite writing utensil! Maybe bring an extra notepad and note cards (there's a lot of stuff to memorize). They will give you LOTS of training materials, and the FAR/AIM stuff is all pretty well documented in all of their training materials. Also, make sure you have as much of the pre-study stuff committed to memory as possible. We had 9 pages of limitations and memory items, and were allowed to only miss two limitations out of the several hundred or so on those pages. If you're on the Brasilia, try to scrounge up an old 2" Jepp binder as that airplane won't have Jepp airside service until mid-July. If you're on the CRJ, you won't need the Jepp binder. Good luck!
