1900

As far as the 1900 simulator goes it is an exeptional piece of equipment, and I have trained at FSI NYC, and flew this one on invitation a few weeks ago.

The simulators are dry lease, therefore I cannot see why they wont accept a company's SOP, since you provide your own instructors and training material, as approved by CAA in chapter 4 of your company operations manual....

The contracts with FSI are valid for ONE year renewable, I know, We have two.

As far as pricing is concerned, less than a 3rd of actual aircraft cost, maby your company should have signed that training agreement sooner, 1900 "simulators" like 43adv MUST LOSE CERTIFICATION, it is not a 1900, and should be used for what it was built for, a procedural trainer.

A large operator's Chief Pilot informed me that the sim will cost as much as the plane and only here to train foreigners and run by the Chinese !

Stop believing everything you hear at the watercooler or the bar, pull your head out of your ass and go see what the facility is all about
