When we go to a simulator training course, such as Transition Training, we pilots have a problem. Part of that problem has to do with our ego: we just hate being "students" again. (Although, to be honest, the best pilots will admit they're "students" all the time - always learning.) But a bigger part of the problem is that, although we may be great pilots, we may have poorly developed (or poorly remembered) study skills.
And study skills are what separate the men from the boys in an intensive, professional simulator course. You see, the foundation of knowledge you bring to the simulator sessions will determine the overall success or failure of your training. You can be the "ace of the base", but if you don't know the proper profiles to fly, you're toast. And, although we have experience in our corner, we have age working against us.
A teenager can learn anything in a heartbeat. He has billions of uncorrupted brain cells, energy and enthusiasm. And he has been in a learning environment his entire life, so his brain knows how to store and use information. How about us older folks? We've killed off an inordinate number of brain cells from aging, our energy level is low, and we can hardly get excited about anything. And it's been so long since we've had to study, we've forgotten how.
Well, with the help of our video "Successful Simulator Training", you can harness that experience and make your training an enjoyable experience. On this 1 hour 20 minute DVD video, you'll learn how to prepare for ground school so you can get all the benefits it was intended to provide. You'll learn tricks the pros use to memorize "nonsense" numbers, so that you can master alphabet soup and Limitations before your second day of class. You'll learn how to use your "built-in simulator" you never knew you had, so that every simulator training period seems familiar. And you'll learn how to take an oral and a checkride. There's also a bonus section on the video covering how to conduct a thorough approach briefing.
Your host along the way is George Nolly, President of Nolly Productions, Inc. and a check airman with a major airline. George will provide the information he learned while pursuing his Masters Degree in Education to help you develop from a gifted pilot to a gifted student. When you finish this DVD, you will never fear simulator training again!
