From what I understand yes normally you’ll see some people not make it everywhere.



Do they still offer the computer program that emulates the MCDU where you can fly a flight on the computer?

If so, that’s all you need to get comfortable with the MCDU. The onus is on you as a student to take the time, outside of class, to get familiar.

I don’t think so. Ethos has an FMS lesson that allows you to push the right buttons, and ONLY the right buttons to enter things like point bearing distance, etc, but there’s no free play that I know of. ...as I think of it, there’s the program on the computers in IND that we use for systems, but obviously you can only use that when you’re here, and there isn’t someone else in class.

Well after hours people should be in that classroom using that. It’s a tremendous help. There should be no reason not to get it before EFPT.

Spending time after hours in the systems labs with the avionics simulators is the only effective means to learn the FMS.

The FMS lesson in Ethos is helpful for learning the basics from a 10000 foot level...but it sucks when trying to accomplish specific tasks like acquire stuff via ACARS, setup speeds, build/bug/brief approaches...etc...which is what you'll do in EFPT and Sims ad infinitum.

Anybody know what the likely delay is for the Oct 30 class? Beginning of next year ?

Sims would be after the New Years for sure.

Somewhat on topic, friend is in the November 6th class... is RPA really running weekly classes of new hire pilots and then sending them home? Seems like they would slow down to every two weeks like everyone else or even monthly classes.

I could be wrong, but I believe classes are every two weeks. It could be possible one person is talking about ATP-CTP class (and subsequent class at RPA a week or two later), and someone could be talking about the first day of actual class. Or maybe they are having a class a week a part to account for the holidays and stuff. But July, August, September, October was every 2 weeks.
