We spent the weekend dividing our time between study for the technical and the SOP exam. Â We also spent some time relaxing, and ventured to a nearby town called Signtuna for a meal. Â It was a pleasant, but chilly evening. Â The weather’s been a little cooler than the last two weeks and it did rain over the weekend.
Everyone passed the technical exam today, and it consisted of around 120 questions on the various 737-800 systems. Â It took most of us about an hour or so to complete. Â We spent the rest of the day relaxing and practicing SOPs in the paper tigers and fixed base trainers.
We have the SOP instruction day tomorrow followed by the SOP exam. Â I imagine the SOP day tomorrow will mostly be a review, since we’ve been studying SOPs in parallel to the technical manual over the last two weeks, and some of us in advance also. Â Then on Wednesday, I have an early start at 5.30am which will be my first simulator session.
