In this episode, I talk about the schedule at the Academy.

I start with Basics that has to be passed before you actually start either the Terminal Track or the Enroute Track. Basics lasts 19 business days or almost 4 weeks. It was being done in person before Covid, but went to virtual during and after Covid. It is about to start being done in person again starting later this year or early next year.

The Terminal Track lasts for 37 days, or almost 8 weeks.

The Enroute Track lasts for 60 days, or 12 weeks. Both could last longer depending on holidays, which you will not have class on, and weather days, which they DO have in OKC.

I talked about what days the Enroute tests are on and how many points they are worth. I also talked about when the non-radar evals are and how important it is to practice to become as proficient as you can to prepare for those evals. I talked about the tests you will have in the radar portion, their point values and when they happen. I also covered how important it is to continue practicing during the radar portion to prepare for the 2 days of the radar evals. I hope this was a lot of good information for you. If you have any questions, please email me at tomhanes@sidebysideatc.com . I will get right back to you with an answer.
