What kind of “FTD” are you using for the Indoc sim eval? Is it still a Frasca? Thought I saw somewhere you maybe had a Redbird now.
Is it set up like a light piston twin, a 99, or something else?
Just wondering what to expect.
Thx

We have a Redbird set up as a light twin and an old BE99 sim.

Also, if you're close to Captain mins and flying quite a bit, I'd advise to just get those extra hours in order to avoid two training events.
BE99 Captain mins for reference: 1,200 TT, 50 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 500 PIC, 75 instrument

During the ACP FO portion, the pilot doesn't relocate. They live wherever and we fly them to their assignment (one of our high timed routes).
When they become a full BE99 Captain at 1,200 TT, the pilot will pick an available base. If they don't live near it, they will have to relocate.
We have a relocation assistance program. It's a set amount, so probably wouldn't cover all expenses, but it helps.

As a CFI whose just gotten to that 500 hour mark could you elaborate what ACP stands for? I'd love to work for Ameriflight but was having a hard time with really considering it since I've got a family here in the PNW. But I did not know that FO's were flown to an assignment and then choose a base when there at Captain hours. You have now definitely reignited my interest a little bit haha!

Once you hit 1000 hours, you will train as a BE99 captain. You will be a Restricted IFR captain, meaning you can fly IFR, but your departure and arrival minimums will be higher than normal (close to VFR.) From here until you hit 1200 hours TT and become an unrestricted IFR captain we will still TDY you (probably to PHX where the weather is good.) Once you hit 1200, you would relocate to your permanent base and continue your career from there.

ACP stands for Accelorated Captain Program. It is where we hire pilots at about 800 hours total time and make them FOs in either the BE1900 or SA227 to get to 1000 hours (and the remaining part 135 IFR minimums.) Its during this time that we will TDY you to where you are flying.
