If you go into the ride knowing your limitations, immediate action items, systems and fly the profiles there is no reason why you cannot pass a type ride at FSI. They want you to pass.

Airlines don't care if you pass or fail.

You only have to fly one hand-flown approach and do some steep turns and 3 stalls, so you really only need to be able to take off and fly to 1000 feet and turn the autopilot on, then fly down to 200 feet and turn it off to land. You don't even have to really know how to hand fly.

I am not making this up. I have seen it.

Ive taken 3 type rides in the past two years there. Know your ******************** and you'll be fine. If you need some extra time you may take a few extra rides but they want you to pass. I think they are very good and a better learning enviornment than the airlines. Ive been through both. You'll be fine.
 
Great info again everyone! Ive gone through 2 airline SIC rides, one with an oral. I tend to study too much and usually stress myself out throughout training, then after the ride say "that wasnt that bad". This will be for the Falcon 20 out of DFW. Anyone have any info on that bird? I have some pdf files on the CJ, Citation VII, and XL if anyone wants to trade. Thanks again!
