There may....may....be a chance for me to fly a PC-12.

I've tried to find out about training costs......it seems to be a state secret. Neither SimCom nor FlightSafety will quote it over the phone, it seems....

I've got several hundred hours behind a PT-6-67....

anyone have knowledge of approximate training costs?

When I did mine, it was $4,000 + instructor (travel) and aircraft expenses. 3 Green Aviation. Shane Jordan comes to your airport and trains you in your airplane. Excellent instructor and insurance approved.

We did 8 hours of ground school on systems on operations then about 5 hours in the airplane over 2 days.

Disclaimer: I had lots of PT-6 and King Air experience. Someone moving "up" to a PC-12 may be better served initially in a sim course.

I did my initial at Simcom. Just call them and ask the price. Probably around $6K

Called them both. No one could give an answer.....

Naww. They're too busy contacting folks like me to see if I want Baron recurrent. I haven't owned a baron for six years.

Is the word "recurrent" used anywhere else than in aviation training?

For my RE license, it's renewal training every two years. No sim training, but it can be done in-house

Yes.

I'm taking the 2-day Apex course this weekend for $2,390. PIREP to follow.

Ask for Marcia (pronounced Mar-cee-ah) Birmingham at SIMCOM if you need a price on any course.

It's got to be collocated somewhere.
