...which displays your ignorance of the subject.

There is NO simulator requirement as part of training for any FAA pilot
certificate short of the ATP. Simulator training is ALLOWED, but not

required.

Do you like this better?

In fact I have no knowlege of anywhere that would not
require simulator time as part of *military* training.

Allowed refutes the monkey sock's cluelessness too, Johnny.


Well, there is the U.S. Air Force- Sheppard AFB, as I recall, has
no simulators and manages to graduate a fair number of pilots who
have no simulator time. (They do have Partial Task trainers, I
believe).
