Hawker 800 XP Type

[darling pretty]

Can anyone suggest the least expensive facility for a Hawker 800 XP Type for a fairly experienced pilot (5000+ hrs)?

Thanks!

I did mine last month at CAE Simuflite at DFW. The company paid for it but I saw the bill. Just over 18K. I hear SimCom in Orlando is cheaper though.

Why are you paying for your own type?!!!!!

Man, paying for your type is a bit pricey, but I'm fairly certain that the cheapest type is Simcom in ORL...but I won't vouch for quality. You want thourogh go to Simuflite.

Simuflite would be your best bet. When I was there for mine, there was a 91 operator that said they were they beacause FSI was around 25K and Simuflite was under 20K. At least that is the number he used for Simuflite.

I do not think I would use SIMCOM either.

Simcom was the cheapest of the three last year. I do not know about this years prices. Simcom has a 800 simulator class C. The instructors are just as good as the others and I have been to the others. Simuflite has a good 800XP simulator and I think it is a level D if I recall correctly. FSI is the most expensive. Call them and see.

If you go to Simcom, you would go through the 800a groundschool for 7 days, then start sim (800a) for 7 more, and then checkride. You will go through a 800 xp differences course (4 hours) sometime during the week of the sim.

i don't remember exact;y what it was but we fly part 135 and when we had hawkers we got a guy that had gone thru simcom and his type was restricted or they don't do some things that simuflite/flight safety does. he was lucky as we had a in house program that was able to cover what was missing. check into the training syllabus(sp) very carefully and also what is signed off on the 8410........good luck

I'm kind of curious as well; why are you paying for your own type?

SimCom's Hawker price

$18,600 = SimCom's Hawker series initial for 2007 .


15 days for type rating then 4 hrs. of 800XP differences ground training at the end.
