I passed my PPL first try, Do legacy Airlines look into your checkride failures?

I am surprised you are leaving AA to go there. my guess would be the paycheck is probably doubled?

First off congratulations on getting your privates, that's the first big step, secondly, the best way to study for your instrument is to just practice. Some tips for making the process of getting your instrument rating would be to remember that even though you have your private pilots license that you are still just a student and you will get very familiar with the feel of the plane without sight. Another tip would be to not get overly stressed when you begin your brief with your flight instructor regarding the approach as there is a lot of information to resight in a relatively small amount of time. Another and my final bit of advice would be to memorize/ familiarize yourself with the approach plates that you will be using most. Lastly, regarding the failed checkrides I would just make it your goal to try your best each time to pass and in the event that you do fail not to worry about it too much as there is nothing that you can do to reverse it. Also, I know many successful pilots that have failed checkrides at least once in their flying carriers.

Anyhow good luck and if you have any more questions feel free to post another comment,

Well, my friend that I mentioned in the original post is actually my girlfriend and since she's from South Africa it won't affect her too much lol. Also good luck on starting your IR training I hope all goes well and the G1000s are great and relatively easy to use. What college do you go too and are you training at a part 61 or 141 flight school?
