I'm starting CTP and ground school soon and wanted advice on what to study ahead of time.

I'm using Sheppard Air for the ATP/CTP, so I am mainly looking for advice about how to study Flows, Checklists, Callouts, Systems, Emergency Procedures, and etc for the CRJ200.

I noticed that Quizlet.com has flows, callouts, and quizzes specifically related to Air Whisky. Is most of the info on there still pretty accurate?

I want to download a sim profile for the CRJ200 and practice on my FSX10 simulator with it.

Does anyone else have ideas on what I can do to study?

Come to class ready to take your written. Period. Study what you are given, when they give it to you. If you try and do flows or something and have incorrect info, you will then be stuck trying to “unlearn” that info. Many people have passed this training before you, use the process they lay out.

Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

This. Exactly this.

Except for the fact they don’t teach profiles or flows, they give give you handouts and expect you to show to procedures trainer knowing them without prior instruction. The procedure trainer is nothing more than the student demonstrating they can do it all. Air wisconsin is train by evaluation.

Know your flows
Callouts
Profiles
Limitations
Memory items and you have conquered 90% of the battle.
It’ll require some effort.

This is the guy who expects to be spoon fed. Pro tip: don’t be like this guy.
Pro tip #2: use your classmates, and if you don’t understand something, I dunno, maybe ask a question. You’ll be amazed at how far your instructors are willing to go to help you.

Yup and this is how it is at the majors and legacies. Some expect you to walk into day one of ground school with systems knowledge already.

If you can make it though AWs school
House and sims with little or no issues, then you shouldn’t be too concerned about the rest of your career studying wise.

Except for the fact I made it through training with no issue. I was just dispelling your false information of don’t study ahead of time. If one has the profiles and flows there is no harm in studying them ahead of time. The training program requires one to self study and waiting till they tell you to do it may work, it may not work. They might not even tell you to study the flows and profiles before procedures trainer.

I didn’t have any info before training and I made it through training with no problems. In systems, we went through all of the flows. All of us in my class that made it through training took the effort to study the FCM and practice flows during the time off we had between systems and CPT. The ones that didn’t make it through had bad attitudes, didn’t study what they were told to study, and made excuses and blamed their training failures on everyone and everything but themselves. If you want your hand held through training and have a poor attitude, please don’t come here as you will not fit in with our pilot group. Is the training department perfect? No, it isn’t. There is definitely room for improvement, but let’s be honest, the people that fail out of our program do so because of their own actions, not because of our training department.

So people, like J.B., flying off the handle and screaming over minor issues in the sim is the applicant's fault?
