 |  Passed Oral/CPT What a busy couple weeks! On my sim partner and I passed our CPT's (Cockpit Procedure Training) and yesterday I passed the oral. Tomorrow is Sim #1 so now the "fun" starts. Yesterday I was hanging around Flightsafety after the oral to give a couple classmates a ride home who were still doing they're oral. An instructor was there and needed a warm body in the right seat while he did his 3 landings in the sim to keep up his 90-day currency. Whoa! I'm glad I did that because it was an eye opener to see how fast and automatic some of the "cockpit procedures" need to be to keep the plane from departing and leaving your mind still sitting there on the taxiway. Doing pattern work and touch-in-go's in a CRJ-200 was very cool, although busy. A 9000' runway can seemed like a short field when he was approaching it for a no-flap landing at 177 kts (MLW Vref +5). I can't wait to actually be PF at the controls tomorrow for the first time. Can't promise I'll be on JC much though since I will be even busier than I have been. |

   | Re: Passed Oral/CPT How long was that oral? A friend of mine recently got his CFI he said his oral was like 6 hrs. long. I'd imagine yours was by far longer!!! |

| Re: Passed Oral/CPT Matt - the oral was about 3 hours give or take, but we had two people per examiner per time slot. Compare this to my CFII initial which was 8 hours, plus another two the next day going over the flight planning. The examiner was SJ. He let us take our ties off! Seemed like a cool guy. He was not very easy and went in depth on everything, but since he made you feel at ease it was easier to recall stuff. |
