AAHHHH......B-E-E-R!

Thanks, I am listening to you, it is making me a bit more at ease, but there is still that "pucker factor" I am not able to shake!

My sim experience is limited to Frassca 141/242/242T non-motion sims, and with the exception of the Chieftain course i took last year at RTC, it is all over 15years old! (Damn, I feel old!). RTC was great for getting the insurance certificate, but I don't know how well the training really was.

Is there any additional items when doing the ATP with the type?

Oh, almost forgot, do you know of any companies that have computer programs for the performace charts/weight & Balance charts for faster/more accurate flight planning? How close is the Fltplan.com performance to actual plane?
