Sim time for CRJ

[flyinhigh6165]

Anyone know where you can rent out a CRJ200 FTD for an interview prep/sim eval? Already checked with ATP and they only do the course.

are u seriously going to pay a couple of hundred bucks to help you get a regional airline job??? i hope not...

It is for a friend...he passed the interview but not the sim eval and they said he should go get an hour in a CRJ sim or CRJ FTD. He would then be able to waive the 6 month wait to re-apply.

Flight Safety in ATL.. No idea what it costs. (sim, not FTD)

You don't need to know how to fly to be an airline pilot, what's wrong with that company making him waste money like that.

Well 3 years ago when 1500 hrs was barely enough time to get a call from a regional I spent $140 at Delta Connection Academy in Sanford FL to get 1 hour of their CRJ flight simulator (non motion). It was a good learning experience because I aced the sim part of the interview and got the job at what I thought was a great Atlanta based company. Give them a try...

Geez I was thinking the same thing...the guy busts the sim ride and the company says go get another hour and come back...amazing...

There is a CRJ 200/700/900 Microsoft flight sim add on out there for about $20. I think it's called "Wilco CRJ 2004."That should get you familiar enough. If you really want to get into it, get yourself a cockpit poster and study the layout. You shouldn't need a few hours in a CRJ sim to pass an interview.

Wow.....how quickly things have changed! I remember a time, not that long ago by the way, that 1500 hours was barely enough time to get a job as a flight instructor. (I know I'm exagerating a little bit but I think you get my point.)

I believe that a sim at FSI in ATL would run you about $600 an hour - that's a number I heard floating around several years ago. If you use it as an FTD (not on motion) they may do it for a little cheaper.
