Length of training in Hyannis
Hi everyone,
I start training next week at home and then go to Hyannis the following week. I am a Captain candidate. How long does the training in Hyannis take? Is the in-airplane training in preparation for the ATP checkride also in Hyannis? I have heard varying accounts of the length of time spent in training, hence the question.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Billings, tends to run junior but these things shift with time.
Training? Not sure for a direct entry captain, but initial FO training and qualification easily takes a couple months. So for a new FO, 2 months. Then PIC upgrade, maybe another month, then ATP maybe two weeks...
Tecnam? Could be any day now... That’s a guess. Not in the official loop, and if I were would be more discreet on a forum.
South Africa? Not that I’m aware of.

According to this article they already have one and that they have another 7 to be delivered this year based on other things that I've read(the wikipedia and links on the new tecnam).

FYI, Cape Air has ordered the 1st All Electric Regional Airliner "Alice". 60% of the aircraft weight is batteries, 560NM range w/45 min reserve, 70 min recharge, half the operating cost of piston twins. 240Kts @ 10K. Be interesting to see who they hire to fly these when they arrive in a few years. I guess the bigger Regionals and Majors will have to make a new category to go along with piston, turboprop, and jet?
