Yeah that's kinda the idea behind the take home tests just to get you flipping through the manuals. Some of those questions are gawd awful too if I remember. Just do your best and when you get to the hotel the first day go over them with your other classmates, then once training starts they'll start spoon feeding you what that junk actually means. For all those whining about how bad the training department it's a lot better than it used to be (except for the ground instructors some of them are much worse now than what we had but they're also new), still difficult but as a captain I appreciate having competent fos, this is a busy airplane and we fly in the complex and weather ridden northeast so people need to keep up. No time to waste on guys that don't have basic steam gauge and instrument skills.

PM me if you have any questions, have fun in training it's a good time.

 

Thank you guys for the advice! Much appreciated. Any idea when the new holdover time plates will be up? I've taken the 2014-2015 Winter Ops Test but the new Winter Ops Test is up with no new data.

 

How do you hold NW on the 030 radial?

 

^^^I was wondering the same thing?

 

I'm gonna bet they meant NW on the 300 radial. Autocorrect sucks.

 

According to FIL 15-68 we should see the new '15-'16 tables in the airplane in the coming week. I'm not sure when the new test will be addresed or if it will.

 

And being able to figure out an entry procedure to an illegal hold in literally an instant isn't important in any aviation job. "They gave us the hold instructions 2 seconds from the fix, what do we do?" Unable.

 

Holy ****!!! Is penny back or something? !?!?! PIEDMONT JRM'D a pilot for TWO days after what was supposed t be his LAST flight before he flowed to AA on Monday. ***?

OVER CHRISTMAS

 

Doesn't your guy's box figure out the holding pattern?

 

Ah yes the box...that's advanced training...not included. Direct to, that's all I know 😝
