According to this article they already have one and that they have another 7 to be delivered this year based on other things that I've read(the wikipedia and links on the new tecnam).

Training prep
Hello all. A question for current Cape Air pilots and those currently going through the training program: I will be joining the June training class. Any tips on what I can do over the next few weeks to be best prepared for training? There is a Redbird sim with a Seminole on it that is located not too far away from where I live. What kind of drills can I do in the sim to prepare for the Cape Air simulator and flight training, and ATP checkride? Any and all thoughts are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Just be very instrument proficient, that’s the biggest hurdle.

Thanks, BT.
One follow up question:
In training and for the checkride, is GPS allowed for navigation and non precision approaches, or are they only done with the GPS turned off? In other words, can I use the GPS for situational awareness when flying a VOR or LOC approach, or am I required to fly it solely by reference to the CDI?
I heard somewhere that all the planes have a 430W. Is that correct?
Thanks, BT.

Yes all planes have a 430w or two, plus autopilot. You’ll train to proficiency without em generally, but on the line as a practical matter it’s 99% RNAV and ILS.

Hi there...
Looking to get some info regarding Cape Air Basing and their hiring standards based off of my experience. I understand they are marketing FO positions with a 500 hour Total Time requirement. But I also understand they offer both internal and external gateway programs to accept FO's with less time. Based on the following experience, would 9K consider hiring with less than 500TT for a standard FO position?
Also, what is the procedure on basing? I understand I would more than likely be based in Montana, St. Louis, or NH/VT at first. But, how often are the base bid schedules and are there good chances of landing either HYA or BOS as an FO?
