1)somebody trying to kill him in a simulator for at least 6 hrs
2) An IPC
3) A functional equivalent of a BFR
and,
4) A bunch of ground school
I said Legal does not equal Proficient.
You’re also presenting it like it’s 4 different courses of training. By your username you know they’re rolled into one.
Canned ground school which is the same every year as it otherwise requires reapproval by insurance compagnies or authorities. Same three Systems covered. Pressurization, Electrical and Hydraulic.
3/4 of the sim profiles are flown on autopilot as automation is prioritized in single pilot operations. Five approaches on autopilot and one hand flown ILS.
Single engine missed approach is flown on autopilot.
Most instructors at providers such as CAE and Simuflight dislike these owner/pilot type ratings as the majority expects to be babysat.
There is also no limit on the repeat sessions unlike with a career pilot.
This character sued after his training provider failed him.
