naflight Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Not sure if you guys were helped with the resources you needed, but here's a few attached and in links. The AOPA attachment is a great beginners guide to airports. Pilot Handbook - FAA I'm heading to Rucker in September. PM me if interested.

AirOneMatthew Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Update 10/28: Got a call from my recruiter today. PRK paperwork FINALLY cleared for my MEPS physical. Going for the physical 11/7 and AFAST on 11/8. Wish me luck I will post results when I get them! Cheers,Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akscott60 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Good luck at MEPS. Study for the AFAST as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirOneMatthew Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Passed the MEPS physical but almost had a hangup issue with my BP. I'm currently sick with a flu type bug (perfect timing) and have been loading up on DayQuil and whatnot. Apparently that drove my BP up to an average of 151/98 over 3 tries. When the Doc called me back to go over my history he said it was probably the DayQuil and the illness but he rechecked it and I was good with a 128/80 and all cleared. My normal BP is around that, and was just checked last week at my docs office. Anyways, I'm all cleared and now just waiting to go back to the hotel and do some final cramming for the AFAST. Here goes nothin! Edit: Test is done and graded. Scored a 131! Thanks to everyone for all the resources they shared with me! You guys have sure been a huge help!

droz88 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Great scores! Your persistence has rewarded you haha. When are you going to actually submit your application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirOneMatthew Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Great scores! Your persistence has rewarded you haha. When are you going to actually submit your application? Thanks! I'm glad I took the time to go over everything beforehand and tried to prepare myself as best as I could. I am scheduling the flight physical with my recruiter sometime this week so I'm assuming it should be in the next few weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirOneMatthew Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Agreed! That is the toughest part of the test. MEMORIZE that key! Also, keep your fingers crossed that you don't get impossibly unclear black and white photo copied pictures for your spacial orientation section or whatever it's called. Those should be easy money. That's EXACTLY the test I had. The pictures were HORRIBLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
