Airline Prep/Study Material
Posted by Infamous-Courage-345@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 10 comments
Hi all,
I just got the call that I can be expecting a class date very soon (October/November) to start airline training. I’ve been flying primarily VFR multi-engine short haul flights for the past 2 years so I’m very rusty with instrument. What materials do you recommend I study for the upcoming weeks? I've been reviewing the Pilot's Cafe IFR study guide and my old CFII binder occasionally but if there are other really good resources what do you guys have? I am IFR current but definitely not completely proficient. I also have zero turbine experience but I’ve been watching a few YouTube videos.
I know that I will be essentially drinking out of a fire hose so im trying to start off on the right foot. Any and all recommendations are encouraged!

Like others have said - Everything explained for the professional pilot and review instrument

I'd say you're doing the right stuff. Getting brushed up on your instrument knowledge would help. I was similar to you, not much IFR before I went to training. I also went out and did some flights and just shot approaches to get myself more or less instrument proficient before I went to training so I would definitely recommend that as well.
Outside of that just do what your airline tells you to when they tell you to.

1 recommendation is “Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot”
Specifically for IFR brush up, I’d go with “Instrument Flight Training Manual by Peter Dogan”
Also check out “Advanced Aircraft Systems”

Thanks you for the recommendations. I’ll go ahead and add them into my rotation.

definitely get your instrument skills up.
once you get into the simulators during the flight training portion of your training the only time you can see out the window is for takeoffs and landings. you’ll be in IMC the whole time.

Everything explained for the professional pilot is hands-down the best airplane
book I've ever bought in my life.
