Flightsafety SD360/C-23
Hello all,
I'm heading to NY next month for my type ride in the 360. I'm hoping some of you Army C-23 folks could give me some info on what to expect and what the ride is like. I grilled my IP but in an effort to leave no stone unturned I'd like to get another perspective. I know our Sherpa and I'm used to flying it but the 360 sim I'm told is a bit different. Also, I've been studying the pre-work but could use some help narrowing my focus. Any hints, gotchas or gouges would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brad

Flew that sim when I worked for ACC, it's a nighttime only setup. Pretty straightforward, just don't let it get past about 20 degrees of bank with the V1 cut. The instructor warned that it's all but impossible to get it back if you get past 20 degrees. Have fun!

Ground school is like every other ground school and since you already fly the plane it should be even easier.
I would study the caution/warning panel and what makes each light go on because the oral will most likely be mainly focused on that. They'll probably ask you limitations from whatever model you fly also.
Study LGA/JFK approach plates because that's where you'll be flying the whole time.
Other than that just know the profiles and remember that it's a sim so it won't fly like the real plane. If you have any other specific questions let me know.
