FFS rental rates and options for Skill test
Hello folks!
As a part of the conversion process I have to take a skill test on EASA 737NG FFS. The problem Is i only know just a couple of schools offering FFS for rent. The BAA asks for 2800 per 4hour session, So I would like to ask whether someone could advise other possible schools/facilities offering FFS within Europe for conducting a skill test with reasonable rates?
Thanks in advance!

Assuming you have passed the EASA exams and have a foreign type rating with 500+ hours on type, why not let an employer LST you? They would have to LPC/OPC you anyway..

My current employer is not within EASA, so it does not have any approved examiners, our FFS is in use for 100% and until now I have had no success in arranging a session. So looking for other possible options
Only half a speed-brake
SIM with TRE plus the VAT cost around 1200/EUR for a two-hour session which should be enough, you'll need to shop around.
Do not forget to factor all the other not-so-small costs, I ended up in Vilnius once over Dublin's SimTech, due to the accommodation, meal and taxi costs alone.

If the FFS isn't EASA qualified it won't be of much use to you.

But that's not enough.

Dry lease is a bit harder to get your hands on. Given the state of industry in Europe, there are multiple SIM facilities across the continent run standalone, for profit. You do not need to sneak in via a bypass, walk through the front door as a customer.
Cockpit4U were great to me when I needed help and I payed with pleasure what was asked because of the product delivered. If you arrive from afar, maybe centres at large international hubs, name BRU, AMS and LGW will work very nice too. Not sure if I've mentioned already, the Loop Hotel is located super convenient.
Good luck.
