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!

Good advice. Its not like its ERAU or any other "factory school"that they spoon feed you. Get ready to drink from that fire hose.

I have also taken part 61 rides with Designated Examiners, and I'm here to tell ya, it was a walk in the park compared to your so called 'factory school' spoon feeding. Not so true. But anyone can make it through our training if you put the time and effort in, regardless of where you did your training previously.
