We've got several former FAA inspectors flying at SKYW now, one was at SKYW's CMO for a while. I think that job/life style gets really old fast from what I heard.

I've heard the same thing from ASIs going through the program or out in the FSDOs about airline flying.

Maybe it is a case of one thing/lifestyle isn't for everybody?

You will be emailed the complete flight profiles along with the approach charts required. There are no secrets, everything will be laid out.

The oral will consist of Part 61 and Part 91, AIM and aerodynamics.

There are questions regarding VMC, IFR alternates and requirements, and runway/airport markings and signs.

I have a 737 SIM check for Air Carrier Inspector coming up. Any one have some information? Also is the oral done at the same time and what does it consist of? I understand mostly Regs ? Thanks!

Colleague of mine went thru air carrier eval a few months ago. 737NG sim in OKC, 2 Feds from ICT evaluating/seat fill and running the box. Very basic, All raw data stuff using MFD in HSI rose mode (VOR/ILS). No moving map. Normal takeoff,
steep turns, stall, holding, two approaches, one precision and one non-precision, one missed and one landing. All hand flying - no FMS work, no FD or Autopilot! Use the PNF to the max extent possible and keep the blue side up. You will be fine!
