They make you do sim with 121 exp.

pinnacle had a frasca eval till a few months ago, now they do the situational eval. i guess no one could fly an ils!

Hahaha yeah I had to fly one for my multi training and it kicked my butt.

I think what got me was the lack of motion. I found that I had to scan a lot harder than I normally do just to keep then damn thing straight and level. Then try doing a single engine ILS...............hehe

hah! thats funny. I hated that thing.

ASA does a sim eval .... -700 full motion is what I was told.

They do. I think that they are one of the last ones to do a full motion sim eval.

I agree, but the sad part is, any guy/girl can get the gouge, put on the 45 minute show (interview), shell out the money on a sim prep, and get through just fine.

Seen it happen plenty of times.

It's a sim. They want to see trainability, IFR procedures, and how you're going to act in the cockpit when faced with a difficult situation. No one expects you to be Chuck Yeager on this thing...just go in and fly it as best you can and call it a day.

Where people usually get screwed is they pay so much attention and get all wrapped up in being off by 100' that they blow through an ILS or forget to clean up the engine. But people have crashed the things before and still walked away with a job because at least they handled the situation appropriately (if not the airplane).

The whole point of using a PCAD besides seeing BASIC IFR skills is that if you can reasonably handle it then you'll be fine in a fully automated autopilot on at 500ft FADEC jet that a monkey could fly to mins.
