What should I start studying before ground school? I just interviewed and need 200 hrs TT and have a class date ~6 months out. Should I be studying already?
And does anyone have experience using sheppard air to study for the atp written, if so was it a good source?
Thanks

When I went through you needed to know all your emergency procedures and limitations (EP&L) for the airplane down cold because you were tested first day on those from memory. Not sure how it’s run these days but they’ll tell you what you need to study prior to class.

This is not the case anymore. At least on the ERJ. I just finished training, and I wouldn't study anything before showing up. The training pipeline is designed to take you from zero to across the finish line, and the instructors are great at what they do. You will spend two and a half months studying/training. Use this time to relax and get your life in order, because after you get to Denver you are busy studying and in class or sims pretty much all the time. JMHO....

I agree with this. Take the time now to relax and enjoy the time you have available. Once you start at the airline, training, commuting etc takes over your life a for a few years.

It’s amazing what supply and demand does. NH’s haven’t had to know that stuff in 4+ years...last I heard was it was too hard so they scrapped it.

Face Palm! Yes because there's so many of them, almost half a page of two sentence memory items.

Nah you're thinking of systems that we had to scrap now its all CBT. to the OP the only thing you can get a head start on is your ATP written.

Yet you still take an EP&L test when you upgrade. Why was that dropped for new hires? Ridiculous.

Well, to be fair, you should have them down pretty well by the time you go for upgrade...

You should have them down pretty well before you fly the airplane regardless.
