The 1stepprep.com is very expensive and looks like its an ala cart system where you buy the individual modules or you can buy the different levels of membership. Just curious how you did it? Did buy separate modules or a certain membership?

From a previous pilots recommendation, I used 1stepprep.com for their oral prep and systems review. Excellent and guaranteed money back if you don’t pass. Their online videos were efficient and put together extremely well. Was a better learning experience and more efficient option then the “hey go read the AOM vol 1 your oral is in three weeks.”

Don’t pay for anything except maybe the A320 app (and even that isn’t imperative). The training is difficult, but not impossible. Spirit was my first 121 training and I made it through just studying the materials I was given and the A320 app. There’s no need to use your abysmal training pay on something unnecessary.

That’s awesome, thanks. The A320 app is great. Whenever I come across something that I don’t know what it is, I can just tap on the switch/system and read about it.
I have noticed that’s some of the flows are different from the published flows, for what it’s worth.

I paid for both. There is excellent value in both of them. It’s your career make the investment....or not!

You’ll be making 100k plus next year so I invested in the a320 education. I did the three month platinum only because training was two months long. When I went through initial, the material wasn’t up to the level and quality of what these guys have done. Get a couple guys to split it in your class. It’s a priceless addition to the 320 app. Never cared for the quizlet stuff even though I paid for that as well.

Hey buddy didn’t see this. Pay for the one month membership or three month and then cancel. It’s all included not alacarte. I think it’s 99 for 1 month or 150 for 3. Get the 320 app as well. It’s money well spent for both trust me. Unless you like pure reading an iPad app and the AOM. Couple guys in my class watched their stuff and it made the difference. We all learn different though! Good luck!

Did you go into settings and download the new flows? They’re pretty close. I went in and changed a few things to my liking, but if you download the updated flows, they’re almost spot on.


I personally wouldn’t pay for the other program.

Don’t forget the preambles on the memory items...

“TCAS, I have control”...

A/P off
Etc etc


The preambles are in the very front of AOM vol 2 (why they aren’t attached to the memory items I have no idea)

I hope they arnt making us recite that too on the oral. If so that’s stupid you have to hunt and dig through different manuals to compile the complete profile. I guess I better check the FAM as well to be sure there’s nothing in there.
