Pay for the BE99 and PA31 is equal.
All of our EMB-120's are equipped with a Garmin 420W. However, no one in the system is approved to shoot any GPS approaches as the sim training we received does not have a GPS and we do not do any in-aircraft training or checking for the GPS.
It's basically a tool to allow you direct routing and to provide increased situational awareness.
AMF as a whole does not use an EFB. Hope you like updating Jepps manually, because you will be doing it a lot.
Good info to have. It's been a long while since I've had to do strictly /A in a sim
And checkride. One would think If they spent the dollars for the gps units that it would be a simple add on for training, but maybe not.
