It is sent to you about a month prior to class.

You don’t need to source any learning material yourself. They give you everything you need to be successful.

www.A320guide.com Look for the ibook if you want to know systems in-depth.

I just used what they gave me and I passed with no problem. It was my first 121 training and I’m not particularly intelligent or some sort of aviation dynamo.

A lot of the issues people have with training is not trusting the system. People say know your flows when you show up, and that’s 100% true, but do yourself a favor and open up the AOM and learn the expanded flows along with the muscle memory. Once you get your iPad and access to Ethos, get a few guys together in front of the posters, with an iPad. Have 2 guys fly and 1 guy be ATC and start doing practice flights.

Trust the system and don’t get too far ahead of yourself. They’ll tell you what to learn and when to learn it. You may feel behind, but trust what the instructors are telling you. If they tell you you’re on track, don’t sweat it and just keep chopping away at it. It will all come together when it needs to.

I did too, but enough to pass and being well trained are two different pilots. We have a good evaluation department here but we have a very poor training department. The culture here is that if they actually train, they are spoon feeding and they shouldn’t have to do that . I think that’s a silly argument. I’ve been part of a very good training department, it’s just a different way here at NK and it’s a way that seems to work, for now .

I agree. But that isn’t what OP asked. He asked if he should source training material himself. I just said no. No need for that.

That’s true, I bloviated a bit. They will give you enough to complete the program successfully. AOM vol 1 is good and the United videos on YouTube are helpful
