Wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't have to drop a couple grand and travel 22 hours by plane to get to a place to take this checkride! My ATP-CTP course is in Atlanta, so keeping it in the same area would be really beneficial for travel purposes. Thanks in advance!
On that kind of schedule you want to knock this out in a sim if you can at all afford it. Several reasons for this. First, schedule reliability is way higher than a flight school’s twin. Second, you are probably far more familiar with turbine aircraft than pistons, upping odds of success. Finally, sim facilities lose business rapidly if their clients do poorly on checkrides. Infer what you will from that.
