A word of advice to people going through the academy. In terms of radar stuff to learn it’s not about learning stuff just for the sake of learning it. You need to understand why you are doing it cause on evals the stuff you’ve seen in practice problems happen in different places on the scope. The evals are legitimately not hard they are no harder than any practice problems honestly and for those worrying about who has which evaluator get over yourself, every person at the academy knows who the tough graders are. If you are gonna look for an excuse why you failed that’s on you. Put in some hard work and sacrifice for three months and you’ll be at a facility, if you are going to OKC to get down in the sheets with someone think again, the academy is a mind game the FAA wants to play.
On top of that as my name states “Lay Low” no one there needs to be running around thinking they are a hot shot or anything. You are nothing at the academy this is a three month extended job interview. I didn’t feel comfortable until I heard my final radar eval score and I made it out of that place.
People complaining about people talking about evaluators come on it’s black and white you either get it or you don’t. No need to blame the evaluator for the “low”scores people get when there are just as many “high” scores.
