Just a word for those planning on coming to Eagle....Eagle uses Computer Based Training for much of the systems education. It means one has to put on the "big boy" pants and study on your own. Once you hit the classroom the instructor touches on the systems as more of a review. Don't plan on being spoon fed. It won't happen. I'm in a long term now. Kinda worried about how many will be having a "career" day soon.
And before some jack**s post the ones I see lining up for a "career" day include 500 hr wonders and 3000+ hour pilots.

Agreed it is no picnic. You have to be able to assimilate a lot of information on your own. The systems part of class moves very fast. Then once that's over, it starts all over with the sim. You are not given much time to get your bearings straight. 2nd day of sim your flying and shooting approaches with the O2 mask on. Fun times. It does get better and the fun of flying does come back. Just keep studying and realize you will have bad days. This training was def set up for a more experienced pilot base but is doable if you put in the extra effort. Don't expect the school to prepare you for much, take the initiative and run with it. Study in small groups and change up your study partners. Good luck!

Whole year? It was less than a month, and a long time ago at that. I was fresh off of IOE and back then had no idea how to order a new plate. It had fallen out of my trip book and I found it, but never the less making claims like "scraping the bottom of the barrel" in regards to people you don't know is a major DB move.
