Dash 8 Type rating

[aimtofly]

I am looking for a Dash 8 sim across US. Anyone know any schools besides Flight Safety??

CAE Simuflite has some on the active FAA list in Toronto and Vancouver. FS has some in Seattle, St. Louis, Toronto and Atlanta. US Airways has one in Charlotte but I don't know if they have a Part 142 program.

I realize this is a pretty old thread and the OP has probably either found a provider or logged his extra 200 hours by now.

But in case this might be helpful to someone else, I wouldn't put any credit in any arbitrary experience requirement that a training center puts on it's website unless it is a regulatory requirement. I think that 1000 hour "requirement" is there to either keep the 250 hour rich kids from clogging up the pipeline or to help sell their $1500 3 day "Intro to Jet Flying" course. At any rate, when I attended Lear 60 initial a hundred years ago, I had the misfortune of getting paired up with some jackass wonder boy who only had 400TT. And yep, the training center supposedly had the same 1000 hour requirement.

So I would suggest calling the account manager for your area and telling them what you want to do...I'm sure they won't turn away your business.
