In this episode, I talk about what to expect from the next to last week at the enroute academy.

That's right, just 1 more week after this one!!

In this week, the FAA stops teaching you new tasks and shows you different ways that those tasks may show up in a sector that is going "RED".

Everything that you have learned over the last 3+ months is going to be used to fine tune the controller you are becoming.

You will start the week with the last of the "learning" scenarios. Then, you will get to take hold of 5 more points with the Checklist Eval. Most students do very, very well on this eval. After the Checklist Eval, you will know just how many points you have earned so far AND just how many points you will need from the radar evals. Try not to focus on those last 2 days just yet.

After, the checklist, you will start 6 days of what I like to call "Eval Practice." I call it that because this is the time you get to practice what it will be like on your evals. The problems will be similar in complexity, similar in number of aircraft, and similar in intensity. They are great practice for Week 12 if you use them that way. Hopefully, your instructors have been told to do a lot less instructing and more evaluating during your scenarios this week. If they have, it will help you so much.

Some of these scenarios you've been hearing about from the time you made it to OKC; or even before. Don't let them psyche you out!! Go into each run confident that you know what to do!! Don't let a bad run here or there stop that confidence. At this point, you have done each of the tasks they present to you correctly at least once. All you have to do is string enough together to have a great run... AND YOU CAN!!

Also important this week is to try to get sleep! As much as you can! Your body needs it and your brain needs it!!

Thank you for listening!! I always appreciate the support!
