From reading the above, I can see that the concenus is to use a simulator for all assymetric training, which I think is great, as long as you have the simulators for the types available. Now if we follow the suggestions above, all operators will need a simulator for endorsements and IRT training. How will the operators of King Airs, Chieftains, Barons etc comply with such a rule?
The availability of a simulator can be a major problem for some operators, will they be grounded?
