With around 4,000 hours of Twin Cessna time, I’ve been to the big-name training facilities in the past. When you buy your Citation or Gulfstream, they are likely a good choice. Not so much for piston twins. Their simulators are inferior. They are likely to place you with a young low-time pilot, with no experience with your aircraft. During my last experience at brand X, I needed to help the instructor understand systems.
By Comparison Aircraft Simulator Training is hands down the best in the country! Best Simulators, best instructors. Rick McGuire is super sharp on systems and provides outstanding tips that help make our flying safer, help reduce maintenance cost, and get better utilization out of our aircraft. The entire team are pros. They care about the student and want to make sure they get the training they need. Their loss of engine procedure is superior to any I’ve seen. Others make it too complicated. At 200’ you don’t have time for a multistep process.
