After many nights of 2200-0400 sim sessions, I successfully passed my initial sim check at Horizon today. Start IOE on next Tuesday, so if you see a guy wandering around SEA looking like he doesn't have a clue, that will be me. Haha...

Now I'm going to go sleep.
 
I know I already texted you and told you congrats, but I'll brag for you on here. I know the check airman that did Ben's oral, as well as his instructor for initial in the sim...both said he was extremely well prepared and couldn't have been happier with his performance.

and don't you dare think you're going to be taking my job, I'm the one that walks around SEA in a daze... I clearly don't have a clue!
 
Congratulations! I heard Horizon is one of the better ones to work for. So what kind of sim hardware is good for practicing?

Horizon has it's share of issues, but in terms of regional airlines, it's top notch in terms of equipment, training and the pilot group.

I like it here.

Are you trying to determine how to get on here at QX with sim hardware? What's the question here?
 
Not yet I'm still in college working on my commercial. Just curious what kind of sim setup the pros are using
 
During the training at Horizon, for the Universal FMS that we use, we have a computer program similar to the Garmin GPS trainer. For procedure training, we have the SPT Labs (Systems, Procedure Training), which is a cockpit mockup to practice flows, emergency/abnormal checklist, etc. This all occurs during initial ground school...at the conclusion you take an oral with a check airman and get signed off, head up to Seattle for the sim.

Our simulator training takes place at FlightSafety in Seattle, where they have 2 Q400's sims. Full motion sims...airplane flies better...if you can fly the sim to standard, the airplane is easy.

I'll see if I can find some pictures of and post them :)
