I concur about Doug he is a great guy. Just had him a few weeks ago for our checkride.

Pilot Ryan,


PS--Go eat at Railhead BBQ. It is the best BBQ you'll ever eat--trust me. It's only a few minutes from simuflite.

Where is that? the only one I have been to at DFW was accross they highway from Starbucks/Barnes and Noble. That was ok at best.

What do you expect though, it was Texas. Not like it is Memphis or North Carolina

I sincerely hope you get a better Sim schedule than I had. Mine was 2030-0030 everynight and my checkride was from 2330-0330.....Sucked arse!Good Luck and remember to have fun!

That is still better than the 0300-0800 I had in the Astra. Try that one when you are from the west coast. My sim partner was from Europe and you'd have think that he died and went to heaven.

Request Doug Sinor for your checkride if they let you. Also, Dick Peavey is probably the best Hawker instructor there. He's an old guy but really knows the aircraft and is fun in class.

Doug is cool as hell. I had him for sim a couple times.

Who is the guy that had an explosive decompression, and can't get a medical now because of it? I had a couple sim sessions with him. He was pretty cool.....and a very interesting guy to talk to. It will really open your eyes about decompression issues....especially some things you may never have considered(such as air embolisms).

That sucks. Luckily, of all the times I've been to initials and recurrents, I have never had a really BAD sim time. The earliest was 0800-1200, the latest was 2000-0000. Since I mentioned it.....I'm really gonna get screwed next time....

Harvey Suites

I really liked the Harvey Suites when i was getting my 700 type. I got it for $25/night on Priceline but i think it's going for around $30-$35 now. I like it better than the Harvey Hotel because they have free hi-speed internet in the rooms and free beer and wine between 5-7 pm. Plus the free shuttle of course.

G100 driver,

I'm not sure what bbq place you're referring to but, Railhead is on hwy121 off of glade rd. I am not a big fan of memphis "style" bbq. I like the smoked flavor of texas style bbq; therefore, I don't like sweet bbq with cole slaw on it. YUCK. But, Railhead is the best place in TX to eat bbq.

FracCapt are you talking about John Dees??

For Brazilian BBQ, just go west from the training center. At Glade (I think) and 121 on the west side of DFW is Boi Na Braza, GOOD STUFF!


I think JD is who FracCapt is refering to....could be wrong though
