Re: B737 Refresher Training
The Law.
I came from an era when we made the law up as we went along, but when I found myself reentering the aviation world after a long break, the law was really the single thing that had changed most.
Oh, sure, in the old days there were laws, but they consisted of things like, how may lights on a balloon-string and stuff like that. The serious stuff evolves, and it would be a good move to seek out a publication or two that simplified modern regs without being weighed down with a full company ops manual, or a given country's air navigation order.
Current pilots recommendations?
Make very sure that you get clued-up on take off alternates/weather etc. No use doing a perfect SID on one engine, in a nicely tidied-up airplane...if you shouldn't be in the air. Find out what mean tricks guys are being hit with in the SIM these days.
Now there is a forum title. "Examiner's Bumper Book of Nasties for the Unwary."
