Its a pretty simple equation. Have your flows, profiles, limitations, and memory items memorized before you start systems ground school, you値l have about 10 days at home after indoc and the CBTs they have you do takes like a day. And review the next days materials the night before for every phase of training you池e in.

If you do that you値l breeze through training.

I have a referral going through training right now who started indoc in mid-June and starts sims at the end of this month. So his total training footprint will be roughly 2 months if everything goes as scheduled. Not sure what the OE wait time after sims is right now
