And remember, you are not being examined on your personal handling skills on an MCC course.
Find the cheapest jet sim you can. I did mine on an ancient HS125 sim with no motion and no visuals. It DID make the difference when it came to getting my first job.
not a very clear post - it would intimate that you did an MCC on a non-visual equipped sim. Not to worry, misunderstanding now cleared up.
The point remains that as long as the device is suitably qualified, it doesn't matter what it is (for the purposes of regulation).
I can fully understand a sponsor airline requiring a jet FNPT2 if their sponsored cadets are going on to jet aeroplanes - mainly because in those cases the courses are usually longer than the minimum MCC (i.e. Jet Orientation Courses) andf the extra time is used to hone the handling skills and REALLY polish the SOPs.
For a normal MCC there is some merit in using a jet sim, as long as the students are up to dealing with the extra speed , as the extra challenge will stretch you mentally and then you may gain more from it. But for an average to low average student then this may actually have a negative effect - the aircraft workload may well detract from theMCC skills training.
For michealknight, this is why the auotpilot is used - to free up capacity to actually "operate" as opposed to just "fly".
