Optional Sim Prep

If you would like to complete 1 x hour PF and 1 x hour PM you can at a cost of €150 per cadet.

If you are not current (i.e. you have not flown a simulator with certification level FNPT2 or better, or a complex Aircraft in the past 3 months) we recommend 2 x hours FP and 2 x hours PM in an FNPT2 simulator. The cost for this is €300 per cadet.
