Can anybody who has used Flight Crew Systems post some feedback on them? Did you feel like you could actually fly the airplane after their training or was it just enough to get through the checkride?

Also make sure that if you are being hired with 135 ops, that training is valid. I have seen someone shell out a type from flightsafety to have our trainning specs reject him. That wasn't very smart.

I went to Flight Crew Systems with my WIA money from a furlough. With the money I was given, I did the least training as possible to get the type, which was 3 days of ground school and 1 day flight training, followed by a little more flight training and the type ride on day 5. The FAA designee was fair. Coming out I felt that I could handle the airplane just fine. I am/was low time but had just come out of a jet. Remember the training is done in a straight 500 with steam gages and no T/R's. A pretty simple airplane. The instructor was a furloughed AA pilot who was very good. There was one other fella in the class that had very little time, and no jet time that was training to be a ground instructor there. Knowing that, I don't know how a 5 day course would be if he was teaching. Once I got a job, I was immediately sent to Simuflight for the new company's insurance.

Please don't pay for training out of your own pocket! We are all in the industry together trying to make it better. We are making progress, please don't slow that progress.

I called http://www.flightcrewsystems.com/ a couple of years ago to try and get the slotation type with my GI Bill, they're not cheap, they said $10,000. and that was 3 years ago.

There is a thread on here somewhere about the cost of various types. That will probably be useful.
