I have heard that sim training at Spirit is four sim sessions and then a checkride and if bust your checkride, you get another couple sessions and a recheck. Is that true? What % of people fail their first attempt at the checkride?
Four sims doesn’t seem like a lot.
But you get something like 12 or 13 FTD sessions before you get to sims. In the ftd sessions you get your normal procedures down. You don’t get to move on to sims until you pass the stage check.
The FTDs are kinda crappy but it does the job.
When you move on from the FTDs to the FFS you get to fiddle with the seats for the first time and finally get a set of rudder pedals so that you can finally do engine out stuff on Sim #2.
