Checklists? why would you want to use a checklist???
Hehe.. now be serious guy´s
However the Russians can provide first class training if customers want it. At Kazan we asked how much time it would take to get type rating in the Mi17, they said the school was
3 months!! say WHAT!
Yes apparantly the pilots go through the same course as the mechanics (engineers) for the first 2 months and then they start flight specific training for the last month.
I have also flown the Mi17 simulator in St. Petersburg and it´s really good although not a full motion simulator but seriously even when flying the excellent full motion sims at Flight Safety you hardly notice if they are taken off motion for instructor replacement etc.
Thanks: Another St Ivian, figured it out finally
