Republic training
 

Just got hired at Republic! :) I’m going to be in a future training class and was just looking for a few nuggets of enlightenment beyond what is covered in the welcome letter - study guide. I was flying turboprops previously so this is going to be quite a change of pace for me. So to prepare, I have FSX all set up with the FeelThere E170-190 loaded, and I’m trying to show up for class at least quazi prepared. And I have a few questions…

What is the primary airport used in the sim at at Flight Safety, St Louis? KSTL? KJFK?

Does Republic shoot Precision like approaches?

How does republic handle churning out takeoff data – weight and balance? On iPad? Dispatch?

Does Republic’s E170-175 have auto-throttles? HUD?

Does anybody know where I can get a sample of the dispatch release? Please PM me with that.

Thanks for checking out this post, and I also thank you in advance for your answers.

Did you interview for real? When did you interview?

Don't worry about all this, you'll have 10 weeks of training to get familiar and learn how things work.

Google the E175, you'll find the info you need on the plane.

No way this is real, no way.

Oh lawwdddd

Guuuaarrddddddd

I thought 21 was the minimum age to fly for a 121 carrier...

ha ha ha. Still, very weird questions for someone who interviewed.

Once I read that part I realized this guy was going to get ripped to shreds... Lol

Or????

Does Republic shoot Precision like approaches?

Can't speak for the realism of "Feel There", however I wouldn't hesitate for a second to practice the 737ng with the PMDG product. Say what you want, Flight Sim is the single best tool for practicing instrument procedures at home. And if you can't fly the full motion sim worth a damn, practice on flight sim, they both fly the same.

Yes, I interviewed. No, no one went in-depth with training details, and quite frankly I did not think to ask at the time, I was being interviewed for a job. It was not till I got my offer letter that I began setting up a FSX sim for home study.

Yes, I know it’s a funny name, but the feelthere product was what was the one recommended to me by a E190 pilot. And my initial questions are targeted in order to set up my sim in a way that resembles training. IT’s not ideal, but it’s the best I can do right now for home study.

Please PM me if you have Republic Sim info that I can use to set up my FSX.

vvvvvvvrrroooommmmmmm

Your sim training will probably be at FSI in St Louis. Expect to use KIND for most of your sim scenarios.

Don't worry about the dispatch release, it will be covered in training and it's not too difficult to decipher.

Ipads are used for jepps and manuals, otherwise your weight and balance data will come from ACARS using the airplane's FMS.

All of the RAH 170s have autothrottles. None of them have HUDs.

Thanks Sieve, that helps a lot!

Or???

St. Louis or KSTL...? Which one is it guys...?

Lol agreed, but maybe this is the best they can get!

As long as he/she has a good attitude, the rest will fall into place just fine.
Welcome aboard!

Yes good attitude is important but you still got to be able to fly the plane. I've flow with a few FO's that the rest didn't fall into place.

Pretty sure this isn't even real. "Precision like approaches" - you guys realize he's asking if a 121 carrier shoots precision approaches, and asking it in a really weird way. It's just slightly masked by some basic technical knowledge about fms stuff. Though my twelve year old brother knows what an fms is since he flies the feelthere e170 on fs, so who knows how difficult that information is to really learn. My guess is he's a rah hater and is just trying to make new hires look bad.

It could very well be that this person is asking about precision-like RNAV approaches.

If thats what was being asked, they do.

I think that's what he's asking. Just not a term that's used outside of training much...

Ah, my mistake.

Yes, I was asking about RNAV PLA. I should have been more specific. Ok thanks, I'll build that into my home study.

Why do you have a new screen name?

Lots of new guys on this forum with only 1 post... I smell trolls

This whole thing smells like a troll's butt.

And you'd know what a trolls butt smells like, howww??

This was certainly entertaining to read

You are right, that was me. The computer I used to respond from was signed in as Zaxxon. I have what I need to get started, Thanks for the info!

Why do you have two user names? Trying to be a two sided republic troll?

Wow. So a guy asks for some info to get started at a new airline, and some of you guys go off the deep end AND embarrass yourselves because you do not understand his correct terminology. Then he is still under fire because he only has one post?

Seems legit.

You have one post. Soooooo yeah.

Seriously, don't study too much. Get into class and just focus on doing what they say, particularly in the sim. It'll seem robotic and rote, but just go with it and develop a style that works for you once you hit the line.

I'm pretty down on RJET and I'm not on board with your choice, but their cockpit procedures are actually pretty decent, especially on the Shuttle side....and the E-Jet is a great airplane on which to gain experience.

I wish you the best of luck.

Can you show me the forum regulation that covers this? How many do I need before I am legit?

I have 3 now. Is that enough?

No, plus you have more than 3. You have your other account that you created.

Can you please tell me my other account? I guess you are the appointed post counter and account counter? That's a great resume builder. Also, you never answered the original question. How many posts do you need before you can be considered legit? Were you not legit on your first post? I signed in because I have a younger brother looking at airlines, and Republic was on his list. I have been a Legacy/Major pilot for 16 years and I am retired Air Force. I was drawn to this thread because it dealt with Republic. It just seemed to me the guy was asking a legit question about what the capabilities were on the E170/190 series aircraft. If you do not know what "Precision Like" approaches are, just Google it. Also, many companies are considering training contracts with companies like Wilco/Feel There to come up with IPAD or laptop training aids based on the success of the FSX/Xplane products. So, now I need to mix it up with you on the legitimacy of my post? LOL. He was asking good questions for a guy looking to do well in training. I know this is a losing battle, because now you will return with some inane comment, so congrats, you win in advance.

Seven months of lurking and this is all you have to offer? :confused:
