I spoke to Flight Safety and he's going to talk to his supervisor about it, but he told me it will be several thousand dollars. I basically want to pay for a couple hours in a jet sim doing instrument approaches, holds and other procedures. Don't need systems training or any aircraft specific training.
Know of anywhere I could do this? Thanks.
I recommend buying a computer flight simulator program, and then giving yourself an instrument refresher course. You probably know what you need already; a couple of hours of basic instrument maneuvers, course tracking, navigation, holding, partial panel, and then instrument approaches. Just don't start with the approaches.
Then see where you stand.
