Hello Everyone,

I am looking for a simulator partner with slots for FAA IR/PPC preferably in the month of May 2022/June 2022.
If you are doing solo training, please PM me.

Thanks

Very curious as to why you would do that on an FAA rating. Money burning a hole in your pocket or are you losing eligibility for a job in the ME? License and type ratings do not expire on FAA certificates.

If it is to qualify for the visa program in the US for the "pilot shortage", save your money. If you are hired in the US your quality of flight time is what will get you the job, not the recency of your rating. All airline approved training programs are effectively type rating/atp programs. I am not aware of any "short course" to get flying for rated pilots in the US. I could be wrong. But that is historically how it has been for the last 30 years that I have been involved in the industry.
