In this episode, I talk about what you can expect from the fifth week at the Academy.

During this week, you will start with your CKT1 Test. It is worth 4 points and will cover all of the information from the non-radar lessons. After this test, you will continue in the non-radar labs doing 3 scenarios a day until your last day in the labs.

The complexity of the scenarios is going to increase dramatically during this week. You are going to go from a fairly gradual increase in complexity to a point where you are working scenarios that are on the same level as the evals that are coming up next week. Your brain is going to be stretched to the breaking point this week, so be prepared.

The name of the game for this week, and all of the coming weeks, is PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! And then, PRACTICE SOME MORE!

You can not practice too much during your time at the Academy! This needs to be your primary thought the entire time you are at the Academy. It doesn't matter which program you are going through( Tower, enroute, Tracon, N90), you have to practice, and practice, and practice. It is the only way you are going to get proficient enough to pass any of these programs.

PRACTICE

Practice is more important than talent, and will get you further than talent alone!

Thank you all for listening! I hope that these episodes are helping you all in some way.
