If someone finds a cbt of how the pneumatic system works on a CRJ 200 there is literally nothing wrong with watching and learning from that because the pneumatic system works the same whether you’re at 9e aw or oo. I’m not talking about system limitations or operating procedures. I’m talking about CFIs coming in with little to no understanding of how these systems work trying to gain a basic level of understanding before being thrown in class.

Gaining a basic level of knowledge on these systems should be highly encouraged. As I said above, limitations and operating procedures that go along with them should not.

 

You consider that systems? Try INDOC.

Limitations of an A/C are not considered “systems” in my book. Learn the systems before class.

 

I can try and argue but I won’t.
You do it your way and I’ll do it mine.
I’m not a fast learner in an abstract way as I’m a nuts and bolts kinda person.
I have to study “wax in - wax out”, first time I read something new I don’t t get the half of it.
I’ve given up trying to understand something first time as that just doesn’t work for me.
So I’m not talking about memorizing and being able to draw the entire electrical or hydraulic system prior to class.
More have a general idea of what is connected to what in a hip bone connected to the knee bone kinda way.
A’right Im slow…sue me
From assembling mechanical stuff you find out about stacking tolerances.
I just don’t want to end up having a less then bright day in training with an instructor who’s having less then a stellar day and now I’m trying to catch up with a less then glorious training partner.
Just to put the fear of the Lord in some of y’all, there are 100’s of threads here about quality of training at SoSo-Air or LowPay Airlines.
Failed checking events and dismissals.
This is not Part 61 flight training where you just go on and on and on till eventually they pass a ride.
Part 121 training is about efficiency and this is what you get, 5 days of ground school and the rest you do in your own time. 7-8 sim sessions with one re-do and that’s it.
Why would t you want to show up prepared for success?

 

AWAC gives you more than adequate time to learn all you need to know. There’s really no need to scour the internet for CRJ gouge (not that there is anything wrong with choosing to seek it out). Show up, use your time wisely, take advantage of group study opportunities, and you’ll be fine.

*Like what tired soul said… He does it his way, I do it mine. I came from a helicopter background and had zero issues with learning the material in the set training footprint.

 

*smh…….

 

INDOC isn't aircraft specific. INDOC is basic indoctrination to the airline.

Limitations is absolutely a "Systems" class item, not an INDOC item.

 

Curious if Air Wisconsin is currently hiring FOs and if so what does the timeline look like from Interview to Indoc?

 

I applied in late jan, got an interview for late feb, and got indoc on 5/1. About 3 ish months from interview to class
