The Jets train in a level IV SIM and the first time they see the aircraft passengers are boarding!!!
Incorrect...The sim is not an FTD (level III, or IV as you've stated), it is a full motion Level D sim.
We could complete the entire check ride under appendix H 100% in the sim, but choose not to, and instead conduct checking under appendix F. This will be changing soon, and all checking will be done in the sim, (so i'm told)and "fam" flights will replace the 15% check.
Congrats to those who've passed their check rides. Remember on the 15% that the airplane will be very light...you'll be at V1 much faster than you're expecting!
Don't forget to call flaps 35 on the single engine ils when check airmen says field is in sight!
