How long is the initial course for the C750 at a place like FSI? Do they even offer a SIC Type or is it only a full type? Thanks!

4 years ago it took 2 1/2 weeks for a PIC type, don't know about a SIC type. If you are going alone they will assign an intern ( who is typed in the CE 750) as your SIC, make sure you get one who has some time in the sim, mine was brand new and useless.

If you attend the initial course alone, you may get an intern or you may get paired with another "single" in the initial course with you. There isn't a guarantee you'll get an intern. Requesting to be left alone as a single and having the intern may not work, it depends upon how many people are in the class.

As to getting an SIC type, if you take the initial course as a PIC or an SIC it's still an initial - same number of hours for ground school and same number of hours in the sim. The difference is that in the PIC initial you have to be proficient in all the items in the training course and for an SIC initial you have to BE EXPOSED TO all the items but you don't have to be PROFICIENT in all of them - usually only about 10-15 items are required to be graded as proficient.

Disclaimer - it all depends upon the "Book 2" for the particular program. My advice would be to call the FlightSafety center in question and ask to speak with the program manager and ask these questions of him/her.

Thanks for all of the responses. The plans for my training are still unclear as the job doesn't start for a few months yet, and I haven't formally accepted it yet either. I am just trying to get a handle on what to expect without seeming "needy" from my new managers. Still trying to decide what I am going to do. Currently in the 121 world but I have been given a rare opportunity to fly for this company and I think it's where I want to go.

Flight safety has an app that you can download all the manuals and checklists. Once you get a training date talk to the center and get access. You need a myflightsafety.com sign on.
