Skywest sim question: How many hours in the CRJ sim for initial training? I think it is 5 sessions of 4 hours ... so a total of 20 hours, and then another 4 hours or so for 700/900 differences. Is that correct? Thanks in advance.
 
All the FTD was done in the sim too. It was a few years ago but it was over 40 hours in the sim before your checkride
 
Sorry ... I know what you mean now...The FTD is the the mock up where you practice your flows and get an idea where everything is. When I think of an FTD I think of the po-dunk simulators in flight schools wth no motion.

FTD is in the sim, but the motion is supposed to be off. Normally the first 4 sessions.
 
There was a Skywest pilot (AF deployed) by the name of C.K. who appeared in this months AOPA. He's in Iraq teaching ground school on the side. Anyone know this guy?
