It's been a long two weeks

After a long drive from California, a mad search for a new home, and Standards training every day, the past few weeks have been busy, to say the least. On the bright side, I'm finally back in Michigan and have been flying some pretty nice aircraft. Having just left a 141 school where I was teaching in very well maintained but bare bones aircraft, having GPS, autopilot, flight directors, RNAV, etc., at my new 141 gig is a pretty exciting thing.

What has really surprised me, though, is just how similar the curriculum at both schools is. Though they do things in slightly different order and place emphasis on slightly different things, they could almost be carbons of eachother.

For the rest of you who have gone from teaching at one 141 school to another, what kinds of things were most challenging? For me, I think it will be revamping the items to emphasis to students during stage check prep, XC flight planning and weather briefing procedures, and smoothly adapting to a new aircraft that I have little time in. Over all, however, things are looking good - especially considering that I'm going to see killer fall color from the air in a few weeks!
