A few questions for those instructors who have already reached Jedi status:
Quite a few jobs with the likes of Flight Safety offering SFI positions to aircrew as long as they have 1500 MMC hrs.
Now question is say you become an SFI on a Falcon jet, presumably you get the type rating based on SIM workup and test then a few circuits and bumps in the real machine, but can you get ATPL issued at the same time if your previous type was not MPA? - assuming all other ATPL requirements have been met.
Also how do you progress on to TRE?
Do the SIM hours count if you choose to go back into real world flying a few years down the line?
And would you then be regarded as an FO or Captain if most of those SIM hrs were as the Operator/Examiner?
