Hey guys,
I have a few questions regarding the initial pilot training at regionals. I am currently working on my CFI, so I am still a few years from being there, but I'm curious about the process. To the best of my understanding, training essentially consist of a "ground school" portion and then a sim portion, correct? If anybody would like to break those down into more specific pieces that would be great information to have.
Another question that I have regards failing a sim ride or any of the other written test you may have to take while you are there (if anybody would elaborate on what the different written tests are that would be great). I am not exactly sure what all the simulator check ride consist of, but if there is a particular portion that you fail do you get a second shot to do the ride, or do they just boot you completely out of training? That would really suck to make it weeks through the training and then fail one small portion and get the boot! Any insight that you guys may have on the steps of training and what happens if you fail a particular test would be greatly appreciated. I am still years away, but would love a little insight. Thanks!
