What to study prior to arrival?
 

Hey everyone,

Back before Christmas, I interviewed as a part of the Pilot Prep program and was extended a CJO. Afterwards, they sent me the study guide for the E170/E175. I was just curious if any of you had any tips on what I should know before I arrive for training, which sections I should spend the most time studying, etc... Based on my best time building estimates, it looks like my class date will be some time during the summer, so I've got some time to get ahead and I'd like to make the most of it.

Thanks! Really looking forward to joining you guys.

You can't go wrong looking at the flows, callouts, memory items, and limitations. Everything else they'll teach you the way they want.

Welcome!

Definitely limitations and memory items. No excuse not to have those memorized, plus it’s one less thing to worry about in training. Other that, just familiarize yourself with callouts/flows.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome, welcome! As others have said getting generally familiar with memory items and limitations (there really aren't a whole ton of them) wouldn't hurt. They do a good job teaching you systems with ETHO's these days so I wouldn't worry too much! Mostly, just be prepared for a lot of quick studying and if you haven't already be familiar with IFR ops, SID's, STAR's and other ops especially at bigger airports. You'll be surprised but that'll help a lot too! Good luck and welcome!

If you have your ATP then do study limitations and memory items, IF you don’t have ATP and need to go through the CTP course, then study for the written as the course doesn’t prepare you for the actual written test. Shepard Air was good.

If you can get a copy of a textbook Aircarrier Operations, i have found that the material we have to teach you is easier to get into your head if you can visualize some of what the airline and the FAA have to do.

It helps some students understand why we have to teach the subjects that do not seem releavent to airline pilots. It will also give more exposure to the vocabulary that will be used. I know there will be stuff in that book you will not use everyday, but you won't be sitting in class trying to get republic specific material and figuring out how airlines work at the same time.

I agree with what everyone else as said too. This just a little more perspective layer from me. If you tight on cash flow, previous editions of that book will do the job as well.

Here is the isbn.

Excellent! Thank you.

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to respond. I'm nervous but super excited to get started - truly a dream come true. It sounds like I've got plenty to occupy my down time between now and then.

Probably one of the best pieces of advice I have ever read on this forum. I just ordered a copy!
