Hey guys,
I would just like to point out a few errors in your posts regarding OAT and the APP F/O course!
For a start only 5 hours of IFR flying is conducted in Arizona with these 5 hours being basic instrument flying! The rest is conducted in the UK with 20hrs on the Seneca and 30hrs in the FNPTII trainer!
Furthermore the training value of which is not dependent on what airspace they are flown in, as they do not use comm radios or radio navaids for these lessons. Like I said the IFR flying in Arizona is basic instruments!
Also Soviet Block you state that FNPTII are of little value due to the beechcraft layout! In fact the only major difference is the location of the engine instruments! The rest in terms of instrument layout is identical to a Seneca! And well a pilot who cannot get to grips with this small change will surely struggle at any airline selection in the sim stage unless it is conducted on a sim identical to the one he or she trained on!
Also if your insulting OAT and there FNPTII Sims then nobody should train at cabair and FTE either cause there MCCs are conducted on Beechcraft sims and Hawker Biz jet, surly they are not preparing you to fly large airliners!
So please before you slate OAT or any school make sure your facts are correct!!
