Accelerated Flight School Podcast

Hello again everyone!  You've completed all your certificates and are now looking for an aviation job.  What kind of jobs can a 250 hour fresh off the presses commercial pilot actually get?  And now that you've had all this training, have you really improved as a pilot?  Do your skills now prove your training?  I'll answer this question as well in today's episode.   feedback@acceleratedflightschoolpodcast.com www.facebook.com/TheGingerDan www.facebook.com/GingerDanPilot https://twitter.com/GingerDanPilot

The last Check Ride - Single Engine Commercial Addon. It's finally over! I've passed my last check ride and have completed all my ratings. Listen in and I'll tell you all about this checkride. Thank you all so much for your support. This podcast isn't going away just because I'm done with flight school. I'm still here and I can still answer your questions so please send them in!

I keep getting emails, so here's another Listener Mail Bonus Episode!

Hello everyone and welcome to episode 24!  Today, I discuss with you the single engine commercial add-on!  I introduce you to the five new maneuvers you'll learn during this final phase of flight training.  We'll also talk briefly of the future of myself and this podcast.  Come on in and listen!

I'm back with episode 23 and I think you'll like it.  I talk about my current progress in my accelerated program in this episode.  I also have an updated opinion about accelerated flight schools that I feel you will find interesting.  This is especially true if you are considering an accelerated program and have commitments outside of school such as a family or a job.  Initially, I said it's possible but lately, I am feeling that it may not be.  Listen in!

Can I work and attend an accelerated flight school? What if I don't work? Do accelerated flight schools really teach their students and are they prepared for checkrides? I also answer listener mail and speak about the state of DPEs. It's a long episode so grab a drink, hunker down, and enjoy!

 I talk about Commercial flying, what to do after you are a commercial pilot, and the kinds of pressures you'll see as an accelerated flight school student.  Also, Listener Mail!!!

Episode 20 is here and we're talking Private Multi-Engine Add-on Check Ride!  Listen in to this one because I lay down some sound advice for anyone taking a check ride.

Today we talk about the Private Multi-Engine Add-On.  Last week we covered the SIM portion of training, so this week we'll cover the actual flights.  Basically, you'll be replicating what you did in the SIM but in the actual aircraft this time.

On today's bonus episode, we answer listener mail!  I had a technical error with my email and a couple of questions went unanswered for a while.  I take time to answer those questions including one from over 8000 miles away!  Awesome!  Enjoy the show!

In this week's episode, we discuss what to expect during the first week of your multi-engine add-on which basically consists of SIMs and ground schools.  There's not a lot to discuss here, but you know that I can talk for hours about nothing.   My first week of Multi-Engine training consisted of SIMs only.  I got sick half-way through the week so I didn't get to fly until the nest week.

This may be the most fun you have during your time in the accelerated flight school program - the Crew Cross Country!  Together with another student - that's right, no CFI - you'll fly your way across the country!  Well, maybe not ACROSS the country, but you'll fly to new, exciting places.  And during this time, you won't have an instructor to rely on.  You'll rely on your training.

So, I bombed my first Instrument Rating Practical Check Ride but I passed my second time around.  What were the differences and why did I pass on the second attempt?  I discuss a successful check ride with you in Episode 16 and how you can apply my failures to make your first attempt successful.  Hooray!

So, we've passed our Instrument Rating Oral exam.  The next step is the Practical or flight portion of the flight.  Listen in to episode 15 and I'll discuss with you what an IFR practical is all about and we'll even discuss how to totally bomb it!  enjoy!

The time has finally come - your instrument rating check ride.  You're nervous our out of control, you've got that empty feeling in your stomach, and you're trying not to let any knowledge ooze out your ears before you have to vomit it all out in your oral.  It's a terrible feeling and it's there because we all have so much riding on this exam. So, the question remains, how do I pass my instrument rating oral?  Listen in to this week's episode and I'll discuss the tools I used to pass my instrument rating oral.
