FAA check
Hi baobab,
The problem is that they, the sim provider, can only check in accordance with their FAA appproved courses. Sounds like you have been quoted a previous experience course.
I doubt you can complete a check in the air, however you maybe able to dry lease the sim and get the examiner and yourself into the sim. 'Independent' DPEs generally are not bound by the Part 140something courses that the sim provider is.
The only other option I see is either an FAA recurrent; or will an SIC rating do instead of a PIC one?.....
Hope this helps,
