Hi everyone.

Does anyone know where in the UK there is a Jetstream 31 sim that I can do my JAA ATPL Skills Test in. BAE used to have some but gave them to the RAF. I have made a bunch phone calls to different RAF bases but without any luck. If any one knows what base they are located or if there are any other companys that operate BAE31 sims can you pass me the info.

Thanks heaps.

There is only one J31 sim in the UK and it is owned and operated by BAE systems at Woodford, in Manchester.

I can't imagine that the RAF ever had a J31 sim, as they never operated the J31 - they had the old Aztazou-powered variant, now replaced by Beech B200s at Cranwell. The Royal Navy has some J31s, but I don't believe they ever had a sim.

Has anybody been training with BAE on the J31/32 sim

Is the course good and sufficient for the exam?

Well they are the TRTO so I would expect it is up to standard.
