We didn't get paper tigers, but the exam guide is great and there is nothing outside of it that they will ask. I bought the Aerosim A320 app but didn't use it much. Between the Brainscape app and exam guide you have 100% of the things needed for the oral.

Where do I get a copy of the exam guide? Also what the heck are paper tigers. Lastly, anyone have a list of acronyms so I know what these cards actually are talking about. New to the 320 and just need to program brain. Download should take 2 weeks. LOL.

They'll email it to you two weeks prior to your class date. Don't worry about the acronyms - you're putting the cart before the horse. The online systems training and in class systems integration will teach you everything you need to know, just like every other airline ground school. Stupider people than you have gotten through without any trouble.

They'll send you a training footprint in the same email with the study guide and some other information. I wouldn't count on any days off. That way if you get one or two here or there you'll be pleasantly surprised

Fair warning now, there's a very long online CBT program that has to be done in training. They'll try and get it to you a few weeks prior to class. It'll make your life a lot easier the more you can do before day 1.

Here are a couple of links that may help, also. The first is a link to a site very similar to the Checkride app where you can touch all the buttons and lights to see what they do. The second is a site where you can pan around and zoom in and out of anything in the cockpit.
