I don't know of any ATC810s in the Bay Area... but Diamond Aviation at KSQL has an AST-300.... very similar.

Good luck at the interview!

Hope this helps!

AST-300....what is this, 1984?

Oh boy! You haven't seen the ATC-810 at Scenic Airlines, have you? Talk about a royal piece of junk.

Atleast the AST had a somewhat real looking AI and Altimeter (well, compared to Scenic's) that wasn't tricky to read.

I am not too sure where you can find an ATC 810.
A post above mentioned that Diamond Aviation (SQL, San Carlos) may be a good spot to try. They had advanced sims a few years ago. Not sure about now.

Also, the owner's name is U.J., and he is a business man who is willing to cut deals. So don't pay full price if you go there. Offer him a block amount of money for a few extra hours, and I am sure he will lower the price in exchange for your business.
