Just wondering if anyone had the contact info for the guy who does sim prep here in SNA. I had heard it was a Frasca 142 and that he could help ya prepare for Skywest interviews.

Thanks!

 

????????????dont waste time/money for a regional sim ride, thats bananas

 

Dude don't you think it's a good idea to be prepared for an interview? I know I will want to be all nice and sim fresh when I go. But I would not suggest dropping a ton of money on anything. Unless it's the ATP CRJ course....

 

if you've never flown a frasca 142 or 131 for the matter, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a little time in one. Most flight schools however have them, and it should be possible to hop in one for an hour or so. When i was instructing, my school owned one of each (both pos's) the 142 had no visual display (sounds crappy) but works perfect, because every approach will end in a missed, which means you'll get really good at flying the procedures. Think we rented them for like 30/hr (expensive) but w/ cfi discount, it'd cost me 3/hr which meant i basically lived in the thing for months before my interview.

PS-

I wouldn't go paying tons of money to fly a CRJ/ERJ sim anywhere, you can get hired onto a company without that, and that company will pay to have you fly their simulator. Why spend bux for something you can get for free?

 

This is the guy that does the sim prep tailored to the SKW interviews:

The SKW sim ride is not a joke, so being prepared wouldn't hurt if you're serious about SKW (it's easy for Saab to say since he didn't have to do that sim ride, and he already has a job ).

 

Exactly......that punk.

 

Thanks Rickair. Appreciate it.

 

I will say, my Flight school that I worked at had an AST-300, and a Frasca 242

 

How important is it that the time be in a 142? I've got access to a King Air 200 sim at work and I don't know of any 142 sims in my area.

 

I chose a 142, since SKYW uses a 142 and that ATR 810 thingy.

I think any sim time would be beneficial. I haven't flown a twin in about a year, so I wanna get in there for a couple hours and get used to swingin the gear, and doing proper procedures.

I'm sure a KA200 sim would work just fine for that stuff.
