A few friends I know have taken their ATP recently, but all in jet/turboprop. I'm getting ready to take mine next month, in a Seneca. Some rumors have it rides are a little different in pistons, ie they look at you harder. Anyone had similar/opposite thoughts or experience?
Ride will be out of Boise, dpe is Arlyn Miller. Last time I did a checkride was a couple years ago, so I'm all out of the "groove". Started reading the PTS, seems ok so far. Haven't been able to find a PDF of the oral, so looks like ill have to go buy one. But again, I've been told its not worth it really, as its mostly systems, and that book is not AC specific.
So, anyone got anything? The short of it is fine, I'm just trying to gauge what to really expect. I think there are at least a couple JCers from the NW here :)
I think I've met my quota with abbreviations...
 
Arlyn is a class act and there won't be any surprises with him. Know the systems and the PTS. He does not want to fail you so don't give him a reason to. I've sent a few ATP guys to him in years past when I was with AvCenter. You're probably with Cammie though.

If you don't know an answer say so. You can't BS Arlyn. He's a DPE for airplanes helicopters and mechanics. He's a maintenance inspector for the forest service on helicopters and airplanes. I've worked with him a lot with the forest service. He is awesome. Don't try to make something up if you don't know the answer.
 
With glass, training with Blake. Thanks!
I did my cmel in a Seneca, so hopefully this be be a refresher in part. Are you still in the area?
 
Feel free to get in touch when you do. Im sure you know the good places to get a drink, plus there's a few new ones. Im close to the airport too. Who do you fly for in the fire season?
