I was on a recent advanced handling course at CTC, and there were four EZY guys on the course with me.

The course lasts 5 days, and there are 16 hrs in a fixed base 737-300 or 737-800 sim. No auto-pilot or auto-throttle is allowed for any of the flying. It is a fairly relaxed affair, just try and learn the SOPs they send to you before you get there. A session or two on the cardboard bomber after the first detail should get you in swing of things to learn the checks and SOPs to a good standard.

The instructors were good, alhough there are some differences between them. The final detail seemed to either be another training session, but some instructors preferred to have no training input and treated the last session as a check-ride.

You can read your report after each detail, and you are marked as either Normal+, Normal, Slow, Review. Don't get any ticks in the review box, the slow is a 'kick up the arse' and a normal is good enough to pass. Make sure the ticks are all in the normal box at the last detail.
