Full Motion Sims- For Currency

[JetDriver2000]

HI Guys & Gals,
I'm new to this board so please be patient with me. I was furloughed from a major about 6mo. ago and was wondering if anyone knew a place I could go and fly a McD Super 80 sim, or a nice full-motion jet sim, to knock some of the rust off. Is there such a place, at a 'reasonable' cost? Just want to do it mainly for fun, and to see if I can still read an approach plate
Thanks

why bother?..seriously, unless you have money to burn...what will it get you.

Be careful with your money...just renting sim time will not get you current. You must establish that currency under a FAR 142 program or an approved air carrier program (121/135) using a simulator. I would recommend reading FAR 61.57 (I think that is the reg) and also referring to the Aviation Inspectors Handbook 8400.10. If you were furloughed as a first officer the only currency you are lacking would be landing currency, if you have only been furloughed six months. Be sure you will get the benefit of the 142 training center before spending any money.

Just an opinion and you know what those are like.

semperfido, the answer to your question, if you bother to care to read it, is within the question of the original poster, JetDriver.
