G450 recurrent training. Where?

[the_bookkeeper]

Hi all.
I have a JAA GV/550 type rating which expired February 2009.
I now want to renew my typerating and convert it to a G450.
Any ideas how that works and where I best can do it? Dubai? Savannah?
Thanks

FlightSafety in Farnborough have a G450/550 convertible sim. Might be close to home?

Thanks so far.
I first considered Farnborough, but the only can offer me a training in April!!!
The U.S. I want to avoid due to long travel and those horrible security checks.
Right now I am checking with CAE in Dubai, but it takes them a while to create the right programm for me, but I am in a little bit of a time pressure.

Perhaps you are a singleton.

In UAE they currently swop out G5/G550 weekly.

The G450 is a G550.......no panel changes, or software mods, to best of my knowledge.

Last time I was there it was cert D, (G550).

PM if more data needed.

the only real G450 Sim at the moment is with FSI.

Also FSI is about the only place that keeps up with the Certification changes of the Honeywell Software. Unfortunately we have realized that other training providers are well behind.

And then - Savannah is a great place... I just love here.:)

Pressure UK Farn. for your urgency. They will find you a slot, even at 4 am to do your SIM. Classes are continuously going on so you can knock of the ground school part. Just the SIM is a tiffy. But get them on the ball and you WILL be able to get it squared away. remember your the customer !! They need to facilitate you and your request !
Good Luck !

Take a regular G550 recurrent and then do a differences course. Mine took about 45 mins at SAV, but I would guess that FAB also do differences courses.

Yes, thats the way I will do it. But i will go to CAE Dubai, they made me a very good offer, 16000 USD below FSI:cool:

FSI Long Beach, Ca has a G550/450 Sim. Just finished G550 Rec there and it was great.
