As mentioned, we're doing a lot of 600-2 VFR flying. First day I was a bit skeptical (as any low time pilot should be) but it really is flat as sh!t up there so you're good if you keep the blue side up. For when we did file, I ended up logging around 12 hours of actual IMC and 10 approaches last week.



This has been answered multiple times. At least 5 people in my class got hired with less than 300TT.



Not a redbird. It's technically an FAA Level B FFS, but it doesn't really do a great job of mimicking the actual plane. That being said, it was great for learning the flows and getting used to the cockpit. Everything felt the same when I got in the actual plane for the first time.
