When we go to a simulator training course, such as
Transition Training, we pilots have a problem. Part of that problem has to do
with our ego: we just hate being "students" again. (Although, to be honest, the
best pilots will admit they're "students" all the time - always learning.) But a
bigger part of the problem is that, although we may be great pilots, we may have
poorly developed (or poorly remembered) study skills.
And study skills
are what separate the men from the boys in an intensive, professional simulator
course. You see, the foundation of knowledge you bring to the simulator sessions
will determine the overall success or failure of your training. You can be the
"ace of the base", but if you don't know the proper profiles to fly, you're
toast. And, although we have experience in our corner, we have age working
against us.
A teenager can learn anything in a heartbeat. He has billions of
uncorrupted brain cells, energy and enthusiasm. And he has been in a learning
environment his entire life, so his brain knows how to store and use
information. How about us older folks? We've killed off an inordinate number of
brain cells from aging, our energy level is low, and we can hardly get excited
about anything. And it's been so long since we've had to study, we've forgotten
how.
Well, with the help of our video "Successful Simulator Training", you
can harness that experience and make your training an enjoyable experience. On
this 1 hour 20 minute VHS tape, you'll learn how to prepare for ground school so
you can get all the benefits it was intended to provide. You'll learn tricks the
pros use to memorize "nonsense" numbers, so that you can master alphabet soup
and Limitations before your second day of class. You'll learn how to use your
"built-in simulator" you never knew you had, so that every simulator training
period seems familiar. And you'll learn how to take an oral and a checkride.
There's also a bonus section on the tape covering how to conduct a thorough
approach briefing.
Your host along the way is George Nolly, President of Nolly
Productions, Inc. and a check airman with a major airline. George will provide
the information he learned while pursuing his Masters Degree in Education to
help you develop from a gifted pilot to a gifted student. When you finish this
tape, you will never fear simulator training again! |
