Not much to update beyond digging into the books, but I’ve re-discovered that a real good source of training information gouge are other pilots that have recently been through the program.
We shared a van with another crew enroute to the hotel. Fortunately, for me, the other FO was in the middle of IOE on the domestic side of the 757/767 program and had finished training last week.
So I got a chance to pick his brains. What books to read, what I NEED to know, things that I need to shuffle away to the “read when you’re superbored AFTER training”, etc.
That’s really going to help a lot because a lot of information is thrown at you on the training DVD’s and 757/767 manuals that I don’t have a good grasp on that I need to know this in order to pass my type rating oral, flight training and checkride.
Speaking of that. If I didn’t already mention, I will be type rated so I’ll go thru the same exact training that the captain is going to go through.
There are minor differences between SIC (co-pilot) training and PIC training but traditionally only the captain recieves a type rating as part of the training.
Another note is that even though the 757 and 767 are essentially a ‘common category’, there are seperate 757 and 767 manuals and slight differences in the checklist and procedures.
