most important thing is the memory items and limitations. go through the flows every other night before you get to houston and then everynight before bed when you get here. go home the first weekend and then camp out until you are done with ftds. dont read the CFM VOL 2. they will teach you everything you need to know in that book when you get there. on that know dont be the idiot in systems class who asks all the 'what if' questions. no one likes that and it slows everyone down. also i came from a duchess straight to the 145 and didnt know what a 'bleed' was or anything about turbine engines for that matter. its possible to do well and not be in a jet before. GOOD LUCK! pm me if you have any other questions.

Just a few things that I wished I knew before I got there:
1) You will need a proper flight-bag, bring your own or buy a $350 one from some guys on property.
2) You will need three 2" Jepp type binders and one 1" for the Jepp Charts.
3) Pray from now until then that you get a compatible roomie; some people in my class were really not good for each other.
4) Training is unpaid until you pass your PC so bring cash.
5) You should have at least one dress shirt and tie for your Oral and Checkride.
6) If you are not coming off of a turbine-powered aircraft, go get the Turbine Pilot Flight Manual and become familiar with transport category aircraft systems and terminology. For example, some people in my class did not know what a bleed was...really.
7) Though you can go home on your days off, if possible resist the temptation and focus on passing all your gates on the 1st attempt- the washout rate was pretty high during my time in the training center.
Any questions, feel free to PM me.

Hey supersix when are you going to training? I start may 7th and am real excited. I have been studying the limitations like crazy and finally have all the double boxed items down pat by memory. I was also told to have to flows down cold, and the qrc which is under the "MON APP BRIEF" tab in volume 1. i am still alittle weak on the flows but will have them down by monday.
I was wondering when do you get your training check during training? thanks for all the help guys, and I'm glad to be with XJET!
