WI Pilot,

How many in your indoc class?

Aviatormar,

What type of flight bag did you bring for all the pubs? What seems to work the best from what you have seen?

Thanks for your help

haha, yeah the first indoc test wasn't as easy, but I got a 92%. Most of my class did very well, and we all seem to work well together as a group which is awesome. As far as a bag they tell you to bring a flight case, which is very helpful. I had an old one that someone gave me at the airport that I flew out of. I would recommend the luggage works or crewgear.com ones, they seem pretty good (basically go get yourself a professional bag). But do yourself a favor get a bag, there sure is alot of books.

wi pilot what class are you in, 10/1? I herd you guys had a quite a class.....hahaha

Thanks!

Did you have any weekend classes? How much time are they giving you to get down to CLT?

Good luck to the new hires...look forward to seeing you, good place to work GREAT people to work with. Just take training very serious, dont just try to get by...a lot of washouts this summer.

Do you know what people are washing out the most on? I start training in a couple of weeks and I want to really be prepared...thanks!:)

To any AWAC pilots and any currently in training...anything I can do in advance to study for the basic indoc test? 121 regs? Training isn't for 3 weeks and I am looking for something to do. Also, when do you get the CFM and the flows to study?

Listen to me, number one thing at this company is to LISTEN to your instructors. They are amazing. DO NOT try to study anything. First day of groundschool they claimed that if you studied exactly what they told you to, and not to read ahead or fall too far behind, you will pass. So far I've studied exactly what they said in class and the class powerpoints, and I've got a 92 on the first test.
Before you get here just have your basic knowledge up to date, and you'll be fine. I know that sounds strange, but don't worry about it too much. Just come to class with your head peeled open and get ready to process alot of info and you'll do fine. They are understanding and really make you feel great, which in turn, makes you do great. As far as weekend classes, in indoc there wasn't any, but I'm not sure about later training. It runs from 8 to 5 everyday, and it taught by good instructors. If anyone needs questions answered on anything, fire away and I"ll try to help out.

I like what one guy said about studying together as a group. And listening. Not much you can prepare for just dont "assume" you know it already and sleep through class.
You will do great but its not a formality....they are testing you...

Basically do just as Aviatormar said, and you will be just fine. However, if you absolutely must have something to look at in advance then I have a couple of things you can take a look at. You'll have to let me know where to send them though because I can't PM or email you until you have 10 posts I believe. Best of luck in training!
