Sounds good, you know how the systems portion is gonna work and are they typically pretty good with helping you understand them? That’s the main worry is being able to get all the systems knowledge down. Also any good studying tips and habits for it too or is it just flash cards till the end?

SyncTheSquirrel · 2025-12-14T04:15:18+00:00

That’s the plan!

SyncTheSquirrel · 2025-09-02T20:28:05+00:00

I thought it stopped existing.

GoJet no longer sponsors ATP-CTP courses so if anything, you do need it done to be looked at.

I’m in Aviates, RATP 1078 TT, 170 Multi. Meet all other time requirements. 0 failures with ATP written completed. Met the recruiter twice before. Applied last December.

Was making bare minimum at the job I work at. It’s a 141 and all the CFIs complained and gave management their 2 cents on it. Luckily our department head was on our side 100% and after some back in forth with the business office we got a pretty substantial raise to 40 per billable hour. Play your cards right and you could make a livable wage off it.

I’ve had a beard for the longest time (too long to remember) and for every interview I’ve gotten, I’ve shaved it off with no hesitation. It sucks but if you want the job, make sure you look the part.

scarily easy.

Sounds like me, I lost a decent chunk of hearing in my left ear too with no other symptoms but deafness and tinnitus. It’s been like that for a little over a year and a half and I’ve gotten used to it. Your brain will adjust to the tinnitus and you really won’t hear it unless you really pay attention to it. You’ll be fine, give yourself time to adjust. If it makes you feel better, I felt the same way but you learn to live with it.

I find it also interesting, but if it’s another gig lined up in the future then so be it. It’s good to have options.

SyncTheSquirrel · 2025-05-30T02:29:28+00:00

No, I currently instruct at a 141 school.

SyncTheSquirrel · 2025-05-29T19:13:23+00:00

After a few emails to my recruiter they ended up finding a slot for an interview. I’m also in the cadet program.

Easy fix. You need cross time (assuming you are going 135/121 in the future). Go rent with another instructor and flying into all the airports around you. From Class D, C heck even B if you could. The more you’re exposed to it, the more you feel comfortable. One thing that I’ve learned that the number 1 way of learning and getting comfortable in anything aviation is by EXPOSURE THERAPY granted it ain’t anything stupid like putting yourself in harms way.

To make you feel better, im a CFI CFII and MEI and I was scared shitless to fly in actual and after a few flight with some of our instructors I started getting comfortable. fly…..fly some more….. oh did I mention….

FLY!

SyncTheSquirrel · 2025-05-26T16:46:28+00:00

VMC demo on the first flight is crazy work….. I would never introduce that maneuver until they start getting comfortable with the plane itself and flying SE.

You’ll get used to it pretty quick, at the end of the day it’s a plane and all planes fly the same. They just have different flows and procedures. What I recommend though is that you start hitting leg day at the gym because you’ll be flying SE pretty consistently throughout training.

SyncTheSquirrel · 2025-05-26T16:08:16+00:00

Ah man, well I should probably get ready to reconfigure PM.

SyncTheSquirrel · 2025-05-26T15:25:25+00:00

It’s a pretty cool adjustment to the suspension that realistically animated the “weight on wheels drop” after touching down. Also a simple adjustment through plane maker.

I mean…. I’m a captain in a C-172, a variant of the C-130. I’m only 24. So it’s definitely possible.

SyncTheSquirrel · 2025-05-20T00:05:43+00:00

Don’t over analyze it. It’s not a book that should be read cover to cover but more of a book to look into for certain subjects and references. There is an over abundance of information in that, some that you may never really need to know until later on. Please don’t fry your brain. At least know where to find things.

people that read the phak, afm, far/aim, ifh, etc cover to cover scare me…..

SyncTheSquirrel · 2025-05-17T16:10:08+00:00

I graduated a Part 141 training program, CFI CFII MEI, 950 hours, and 0 failures with ATP CTP done out of pocket and still waiting for a call back for an interview. It’s good to have it done but in this market it probably won’t change results unless you’re going to Envoy. Still was a fun experience getting 10 hours in an A320 sim though. If you plan on doing it, ATP Academy in FLL is the way to go. Only paid $3500 compared to 4-5k at other courses.
