March 14, 201312 yr I have a totally random question for the c-130j ip/ep types out there. On annual aircraft commander checkrides in the simulator do evaluators give guys 2 engine out scenarios? For example, engines 3 and 4 inop, vectors to an ils, home station, in the wx. I assume there is no 2 engine inop work done in the plane. E/H guys please feel free to provide input as well. Any info would be apprieciated. I am curious about other 4 engine communities as well. Thanks.Is the checkride standard 2 engine inop work for an aircraft commander checkride? What about co-pilot checkride? One engine inop?
March 14, 201312 yr No. You only do 2- engine work in your annual CRM sim, but it's not evaluated. Same for the E/H. Checkride profiles for both aircraft just include a 3-engine go around and 3-engine landing.
March 15, 201312 yr Also, apart from J-school, there are not checkrides in the simulator. Expect a 'supercheck'.. full mission profile to include a tac approach to an assault, followed by a full pro portion with Cat II ILS, three engine work, circling, etc. Long terrible sortie. Lastly: AC and Co-Pilot checkrides are the same. Edited March 15, 201312 yr by Bronco130

You're not going to have enough flying hours to log beans and give checkrides.
