What he meant to say was an airline cannot satisfy the requirements for this course via their current training program. It'll be required to offer the course, have the candidates take the written, then continue onto Indoc and aircraft specific stuff. Only another week added really.


Can anyone confirm this: Is the sim time based on a person acting as pilot flying, or can you count the total sim time if you're pilot monitoring? ( I.E 5 hours as PF, 5 hours as PM )

Based on what I read, all you need is 10 hours total in a sim. 6 hours in a level C or higher, and the rest can be in a FTD.

So you can split it between two people, 5 hours each..Which is only one long sim session..
