Brennan walked in straight from a charter - uniform, socks and all - and breaks down what it’s really like to earn a Challenger type rating at CAE and jump right into line flying. We cover the grind of 12-hour ground school days, touchscreen IPT flows, full-motion sim surprises (engine relights, control jams, high-altitude descents), the ATP oral, CRM with a seasoned captain, and real-world ops like CPDLC, Miami frequency chaos, and keeping a jet under 250 KIAS off a 2,000’ level-off. If you’re eyeing your first jet type or getting ready for recurrent, this one’s packed with practical nuggets.Highlights:CAE training cadence: ground IPT flows full-motion simsSim traps & lessons: engine flameout relight, emergency descent, single-engine workATP/Type oral focus: systems, limits, practical scenarios (not just regs)First month flying charter: 43,000 ft cruise, reroutes, CPDLC workflowJet habits that start in GA: flows, “scoreboard” verification, checklists, radio chopsCRM & dividing tasks so the airplane never “gets ahead” of youOwens Flight Training is a flight school based in Lafayette, Louisiana.www.owensflighttraining.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/owensflighttrainingInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/owensflighttraining
