Aeromed

The first true portion of flight school is Aeromed. In the past, this was the most failed course in the entire training sequence of flight school; however, the program has been modified and, with the changes, all of the flight students in my section passed without too much difficulty. The course is only a few days long so, if possible, get the materials a couple days before you begin the course so you can become familiar with it. The way Aeromed is currently taught is interesting. The classes aren’t so much teaching as they are an extended quiz session. Over the course of the day, each student will be called on to answer a question concerning the material assigned the previous night. As a result, the course is essentially self taught with the instructors there to ensure the students have covered all the assigned material and to fill in any knowledge gaps. Two study aids that proved helpful were Quizlet and Study Blue. Quizlet has a number of readymade sets of flashcards for Aeromed. Even if you are not give the course materials prior to your class, learning the answers to these flashcards will give you an excellent head start. I had a slight preference for Study Blue. It does not have pre-made flash cards but, rather, allows the student to make the exact cards they want. It also offers an app that allows the cards to be used on a smart phone.They both have their pros and cons; try them and see which works better for you. The course goes by quick so study hard and do well.
