Don't mean to insult but any cold weather experience? Just curious.

As soon as you arrive in Doha
get a copy of the vacbi and the Fcoms.
Do the vacbi lessons before you start the MFTD, even though they are scheduled the same day its no enough time to do both the lessons and the MFTD trainer.
Youll get a schedule every day showing what youll review that day and they follow it to the dot.
youl get 9 sessions on the MFTD
The youll do the written test
Then about 8 session of fullmotion sim plus etops awops and zero flight time.
Im my opinion training in the Mftd and full motion sim is very good and most of the sim instructores are cool.
In line training there are a few freaks who asked wierd ass question and instead of intructing they enforce thier own tecniques.
besides this youll have no problem.
Good luck

fubaleira,

Guess I should have made the reason behind my question clearer. I asked about the cold weather operations because I have a few friends in a similar situation without any and wanted to know if it was an issue?
