Sort of.
All of our FMS's are currently disabled. The company does not have an approved simulator training program for the FMS. The FAA has decided that we cannot use the FMS until we have the training program. Our simulators do not have an FMS installed in them, so who knows when this will get fixed.
All of our flying is being done "old school" - paper charts and VOR's!
