| Does anyone know which book/study guide is best for the CRJ? I know there is the CRJ Study Guide from StudyGuide.com and the one from avsoft. Any suggestions?? Thanks

| Usually they give you some study material before you go. Usually that is more then enough to keep you busy.

| Old Skool | Understandable then. I'd really not even worry about it. They'll teach you their way and what they want you to know / how to operate the airframe their way. |

I have the avsoft CRJ study guide. I think its a great reference guide. I recommend getting it. Some airlines hand it out in training.

| Old Skool | I agree with the above post of those who have completed training recently as well! DONT BUY anything! The company will teach you what you need to know and will have you learn what you need to know. You will have the time and opportunity to do well with their training program. If you for whatever reason cannot handle what they teach you, my thought is you wouldnt have been able to even with studying before hand! Its not that BAD! Enjoy, relax, and have fun with your time off right now! We all know you wont have the time coming shortly and therefore are giving you this advice. You will be fine! No worries bro! |

| Also, some people don't realize that different airlines have their planes configured differently. A CRJ at XYZ airlines is not always the same as a CRJ at ABC airlines. Learning the wrong thing can get you confused and make it difficult to "unlearn". Also, as far as limitations and checklists, those can vary GREATLY from carrier to carrier. Many of the limitations your new airline has are created by the company and are not Bombardier limitations but something more restrictive tailored for their operation. |

| Old Skool | If they give you memory items and limitations, study those until you can rattle them off in your sleep. That's enough, and you'll be lightyears ahead when class time rolls around. I'm studying for upgrade right now, and I'm just using company manuals. A lot of study guides might be based on different airlines. For example, if you've got a company that uses flaps 8 CRJs, they might have different Vspeeds than other companies that use flaps 8. There's probably a ton of other examples like that. If you stick to the company books, there's less chance of getting confused. In addition, if you answer something in your oral and show it to a disbelieving examiner in the company book, you're on solid ground. If you show him a study guide....well, that's not gonna be considered an official source of info.
