ACP219 Flight Sim Expo Evan Reiter

Flight Sim Expo Welcome to the inspirational, informational, and transparent aviation careers podcast. If you have questions, comments, inspirational stories, or announcements please contact us at feedback@aviationcareerspodcast.com.

Since the new rule requiring an ATP before you can work as an airline pilot, pilots have been trying to find ways to build hours. Some pilots take flying jobs that have no translation to the world of IFR and airline flying.

To regain those critical Instrument flying skills I highly recommend your practicing instrument approaches along with flying in the instrument environment. One recommendation I have is to practice in a simulator to hone your skills before your airline interview and your airline training.

To discuss simulators and the benefits many enthusiasts receive from the use of simulators is Evan Reiter, Co-Founder, Flight Sim Expo. Evan is with the successful Flight Sim Expo for the sim enthusiast and pilot. I think you will find simulators have come a long way and are key to advancing the professional pilot’s career.
