EVENT: NGX Procedural Training by Randy Burke (737 Type Rated, FAA GA Aviation Ops Inspector)

TOPIC: Introduction and Short Flight

TIME: August 19th, 1pm PST, 4pm EST, 2000 GMT (Every Sunday until we run out of material)

LOCATION: avsim.digitalthemepark.com (TeamSpeak 3)

 

Greetings Aviators,

 

We are pleased to welcome Randy Burke, a type rated 737 (and many others certs) pilot and FA Aviation Ops Inspector for the FAA. He is going to share with us his background and knowledge on various 737 procedures, tips and tricks. Randy was a flight instructor at Spartan School of Aeronautics in Tulsa and taught single and multi-engine aircraft along with ground school. After Spartan he became a First Officer at American Eagle on the Saab 340 and transitioned to the ERJ as a First Officer. In 2008 he left American Eagle and went to work for the FAA where he works today. He is the General Aviation Ops inspector handling several different aspects of aviation. Various duties include performing CFI checkrides, coordinate airshows, investigate accidents, and various other functions.

 

Different from our other events, this is a "live" interactive event. We will all meet "on the tarmac" in the NGX. You are the pilot!

 

In the first event, Randy will be conducting the training consisting of a short flight between Houston Hobby and San Antonio Airports. Expect the flight to be about a little over an hour. Discussed will be startup, programming the FMC and techniques for flying the 737.

 

Note: We suggest getting connected before the event in order to make sure your headset fully works, and familiar with DTP. We appreciate your understanding that we refuse to "seat" folks after the event has started. It you just want to listen in, that works as well.
