The instructors at Sim Flite Minnesota have had considerable experience in preparing pilots for Part 135 checkrides. The minimum requirements for Part 135 PIC of an aircraft under IFR are: Hold at least a commercial license Must hold an instrument rating or an ATP license for airplane 1200 hours total time 500 hours cross-country 75 hours instrument, either hood and/or actual, of which 50 hours must be in actual flight 100 hours night And although FAR 135.243(c)(1)-(3) doesn't specify anything about the class of airplane, most Part 135 operations require at a certain amount of time in multi-engine airplanes. It has proven very successful to train pilots for a Part 135 checkride using the sim. A Part 135 checkride requires the pilot to be sharp on both instrument and multi-engine skills. The sim is a cost-effective way to prepare pilots for a Part 135 checkride.
