IFS Study Habits

Chairfly. As much as you can, even if you don't know what you are doing, get in that simulator and just fly the route. Go SLOW! So many people try to haul through it. It doesn't help if you get so confused and lost that you don't know where you are on your route.

For study sheets, I've been making notecards of all the procedures. Once you check the Checkride Eval sheet and see what kind of profiles there are, you'll have a better understanding of what you should study.

I printed out the LFP, EPs and Playbook so that I can have a copy to read at anytime. I don't want just the electronic copy and the binders in the flight room are just plain annoying.

If you get ANY gouge, whether it be from someone or here at IFS, DOUBLE CHECK IT FIRST! If you study the wrong thing, it's your own fault. They're always tweaking the program and you may have just one or two things different. It's a good study habit to go through the gouge and re-write it. You'll find out what you're missing and pick up a few tips as well.

Take Friday and most of Saturday off. Work MASSIVELY hard during the week. Come back to work on Sunday for the last part of the day but GO TO BED EARLY. During the week, try to finish everything you want to do and get to laying in bed by 2130. You'll need the sleep and you'll fly like shit if you're tired.

Can't think of much else. You'll find someone other things when you get here but these were the big ones I wanted to get out.

PS - Check the P drive when you get here for more gouge. Don't be afraid to search but just remember to VERIFY all gouge before accepting it as gospel.
