Is FlightSafety the only place to offer the PIC or SIC type rating in the US? Suggestions or ideas? Can I get a type via a foreign training program?

You sure about that?Not to mention an SIC is not a type rating so why would you even think about that?
:yeahthat:Call Long Beach Flight Safety. They have a level C sim and another in Atlanta I beleive. The other one they had was sold to a company in Australia. I doubt it is set up yet.
But it doesn't make much sense to get a type rating in that aircraft. I get paid to fly it daily and don't have a type rating.
Yep. It's a training endorsement.You sure about that?

Do you mean that they no longer do Bro stuff for off the street people? Because otherwise I better tell my companyLGB is no longer doing E120 stuff. ATL is the only place in the US that you could go. And I think its going to run you close to 20K, FS that is.
Haaa.....I was thinking the same thing and I better tell the captain I flew with today. He is heading there tomorrow for recurrent.Do you mean that they no longer do Bro stuff for off the street people? Because otherwise I better tell my company![]()
Yes, in that they're totally worthless in the U.S. I have a SIC type rating, only because it's required overseas. To fly in the U.S. as an FO, all I need is a Commercial Pilot Certificate with a multiengine rating and instrument rating.You sure about that?
Then why is it called an 'SIC Type Rating'? I also don't think it's totally useless in the US because you can at least prove that you've been through some sort of training. It shows up on your license under type ratings - because it's a type rating - with SIC only privileges.It's not a type.
wow mini, I find something I disagree with you on. I agree that it is not very useful, and that without time in type it is pretty much useless BUT:Yep. It's a training endorsement.
It's not required for domestic ops (yet hah) and gives you privileges to............swing the gear?
It's not a type.

It's about the circle to land . . . we can't do it in the sim because we can't see it (the runway) out of the side window. We have to fly the circle to get the typeI don't think that's true, because I just talked with a guy that went through Higher Power's program and they did EVERYTHING at night, so I'm guessing it was a level B/C sim and he has a PIC type for the 737 sitting in his pocket right now.
