Ok, there's really just 5 for now.
1) Logbook tabs: recommendations for neat ways to tab a log book, and exactly what things you should tab? Not really an artsy-fartsy person.
2) "Major checking events" - what meets this defition? Every ride that was for a rating or certificate plus initial training that involved FAA rides (135/121)?
3) Logbook summary sheet - what would you put on the logbook summary? I read that some who did interview prep got good guidance for this. Is there a template out there?
4) Resume template - Cage uses a very plain template in the book as an example. I like the idea. Does anyone have a template similar to the example? If not making one isn't the end of the world.
5) Training failure question - In short, my check airman said I shouldn't say I unsatted if asked, I think I should. Here is what happened: I got behind the airplane on SE ILS and didn't have props full forward when I landed. Lifting the power levers was enough to make him say I needed to redo that maneuver because reverse is prohibited without props full forward. I redid the maneuver right then and there, apparently that is allowed on a 135 intial ride and everything was fine. He went on to say that I shouldn't worry about it since it will show that I passed, however he would write in the notes that I redid a maneuver. He also commented that I may have unsatted one maneuver, but I passed the ride as a whole. I honestly don't know whether to say that I had a failure or not based on that advice. I feel like if I unsat a maneuver even though I'm allowed to redo it and pass, that is still a training failure. The last thing I want to say in an interview is "I really don't know whether I passed or failed!"
Thoughts?
