I loaded up Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 on my PC and picked up a copy of Eagle Soft's Citation II/SP mod over the internet (http://www.eaglesoftdg.com/citationII.htm). I flew it every day for the week leading up to my interview with a PC joystick.

The instrument panel layout is exactly the same as the Citation II FTD they use in Columbus for the interview. (round dials)

For me, this was way less expensive than buying sim time and did the trick. (I got hired and start class next month)

Since you're at ASA, I assume you're flying the CRJ and are used to glass. Don't sweat it. The good news is that the FTD in Columbus has round-dials on the left (Captain's side) and glass on the right (FO's side) and they let you fly whichever side you want.

I recommend you go ahead and download the software (round-dials and all), fly the heck out of it to get your scan really sharp, then fly your interview ride from the right seat to take advantage of the glass.

You also get a manual trim wheel on the right seat. (Captain's chair has electric trim only) I found this to work out much better since I was able to find the "sweet spot" by sense of touch and could trim that sucker into submission.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
