Hi folks,

With reference to 560 XL/XLS training what are your experiences at the above for training on an initial course?

Good training and new sims but considerably more expensive in UK.
I hear the sims are more tired stateside but does the cheaper pricing outweigh the overall package over at Burgiss Hill?

Your thoughts would be much appreciated?

best wishes.

I did my XL type in Dallas about a year ago and have also done many sessions in the sim as one of their rightseaters. Its a basic XL sim with Primus1000 avionics and dual FMS. Gets the job done and rarely breaks down.

In regards to the instructors it really is a crapshot, as with any training. Some instructors are good, some are less good.

If it's significantly cheaper than in the UK I see no reason not to go to Dallas. Remember, despite higher cost to get here you may make that back in lower hotel and meal costs.

FYI, I have never been to Burgess Hill so can't make a comparison between the two.

And you get to go to BoneDaddy's. :}

Thanks gents, Bonedaddys then seems to be swaying the decision in the favour of Dallas!

Anyone studied their initial XL/S at Burgess Hill?

Cheers guys..
