the checkride/ oral is pretty easy actually, you'll probably be pretty suprised, if you can handle all the crap they give you in the last couple of sims the pc will be a peice of cake.. dont worry bout it just study hard and you'll do fine

If you can fly the Sim, you can fly the plane. The real A/C feels much heavier and more stable. You'll be fine... unless you took some extra sim sessions, then who knows ??

It's not all about flying the airplane. It's working the radios, single engine turns, W&B, giving the briefing (1900), etc. Some people take a little longer than others to finish

True, I remember talking to a couple guys during their IOE and their biggest problem was getting all the stuff done; paperwork and clearance basically.

yeah usually the paperwork like the weight and balance usually makes new FOs a little weary, so get as much of it done before hand as you can
