friend who just converted
A buddy of mine just completed the 14 exams, and was exempt from the distance learning because of his time. 500 hours on a type rated medium jet and heavier providing that you do the type rating on the jet. He studied only 1 day for each exam and has completed them all. Granted he was an instructor in Canada so a lot of the stuff was review and he is flying over in Europe at the moment so he had some experience under his belt. I am in the same situation and I am exempt from the distance learning because of my time. I plan on sitting my first 8 exams in March so I will let you know how it goes. If anyone tells you the exams are too tough just let those comments run off of you, its either because they dont have the experience or dont have the drive to study....
