Unless things have changed radically, the best training I've ever received was at Air Whisky. I've since flown all over the world and now work for a US major that prides itself on its training and I still think AWAC did the best job.

They have high standards but do the work, meet them half way and they'll give you all the support you need.

The battery weights have been asked for over a decade. I'm not sure why they ask that, either it's to see if you bothered memorizing the weights or to see if you know which one is bigger. Not that it should matter either. I dunno. I agree it's kinda a superfluous question but it was never a make/break question either.

If you knew the IAC and limitations cold, you were pretty much good to go. Everything else was just for a formality.

I'd blame that on the pilots. 11 of 12 made it through my class. We studied our asses off and the one guy who didn't make it-surprise! -he was absent from most of the study sessions.

Navtech. They are not as good as Jepps, but they are fine. It sometimes takes some hunting to find stuff on airports we don't fly into a lot.

NAVBLUE.

Not as nice as Jepp, but better than manual revisions or carrying 20lbs worth of paper.
