Its all AQP now. (no pilot left behind) so your worries are few. Plus none of that stalls and falls or steep turns stuff.

Since you did not state what aircraft your coming from my first recommendation is to go in even on your days off and get all of your CMI done, complete, finished. :

Better yet, just logon from home and do it at home!;)

Not entirely true. You do steep turns on AST1 and stalls on AST3. Then you never see them again.

Anyway, pretty much what everyone said. Get the CMI/LMS done before class. Know your Phase ones and do the day one reading before the first day. There will plenty of gouge handed out by other students when you get there.

Don't try to learn every thing before you get there. You'll get discouraged because there's just too much info and you won't know what important and what's not. That what our job is.

Anyway, see you in a month.

Holy crap I am getting old. I guess I didn't even realize you could do that. In any case CMI that is not airplane specific is the same stuff that you've been doing each and every year. Cat-3, De-icing, windshear, DG, farting issues, etc, etc, etc. Again you have to do this all over to reset your clock. Don't dwell on it trying to amass any kind of great knowledge. You just want to get that monkey off your back. So do CMI at home with a Jack n water. Some prefer neat.............:cool:

Any one with any gouge recommendations, study tips, FMS Gouge, or how to access the FMS trainer on CMI, when your a commuter would be greatly appreciated.

This may be of some help to you - especially after you have had some initial exposure to MD-11 aircraft systems.

Let me tell you Albie - the first time you stand 'em up at the end of Osaka's runway, blasting off at 630,500 pounds into the dark... it's better than ***......
