So you got hired in 2011 went active duty in 2012? Have over 100 hours in the Emb 145 sim? Something doesn't add up here. How many recurrent lofts can you have in two years?

 

The total for initial training at PSA is 48 hours. (although most people require 10 sessions for initial training). It seems like it would take a few years to hit 100.

Initial training: 8 sessions x 4 hrs = 32
Check Ride: 1 session x 4 hours = 4
Initial Loft: 1 session x 4 hours = 4
Differences: 2 sessions x 4 hours = 8

I honestly do not know anyone that logs this time for anything. Most people don't even keep track of it.

 

I guess I should of added a sarcasm to the end of it.

I kept my initial explanation a little too simple, I will elaborate. So the above is correct with the addition of 2 more initial sims. The additional time was in a Frasca FTD during my Part 141 instrument training. Part 61.159 A(6) says no more than 100 hours of sim or FTD time may be used as long as it is 121/141/or 142. Eagle also paid for me to go through the ATP CRJ 200 Jet standards course which falls under the part 142. That CRJ 200 FTD course was a 40 hour course. On top of that, I will obviously go through another Initial 121 for the 900 at PSA. Any way you cut it, I have the 100 hours. I agree that the sim time is something most don't ever log or care about. But at this point I am trying to use every single hour I can get. I have 500 hours 121, clean record, and have never failed a check ride. I really don't understand the logic to say that 172 time is what I need to help me prepare for 900 training while completely discounting a former 121 type rating and sim time that the FAA says I can use. Interviewer wouldn't give me credit for any of it. All other regionals I have interviewed with are counting all of it.

 

Up to 100 hours of this 1500 may have been obtained in a flight simulator or flight training device provided that time was obtained in an approved course conducted by a training center certified under FAR part 142 (our military training programs like UPT are generally not part 142 certified, though the military may have sent you to a part 142 program to get qualified in certain aircraft, or you may have gotten training at a part 142 program at some point in your pilot career).

 

I wasn't including any of my military sim time

 

This is 121/141/142 sim time I am counting

 

I am not an expert on the differences between 141 and 142, but I know that there is a difference. My understanding is that 142 is more structured than 141, and is a different animal all together.

 

142 in my view are sims places like simuflite, flight safety, who specialize in type ratings under an approved course. They have their own examiners and instructors and curriculum that is approved by the FAA.
