IPC in a Simulator? Phoenix area..

[Anonymous]

I am looking for a flight school in the Phoenix area that can give me
an IPC (or let me log approaches for currency) in a simulator. Sim
time just seems so much more efficient than taking the real thing out
in CAVU and putting a hood on... Does anyone know of such a place?
Please post your response, as the e-mail address is bogus.

Thanks,
Dan

Westwind up at Deer Valley http://www.iflywestwind.com is the only one
(trustworthy...that I know of) that has sims.

Stay away from Sawyer, though.

I've been tossing around the idea of doing some training over at
Sawyer, is there something I should know about them??

According to an instructor who just quit there and took a lesser paying job
elsewhere in town, "Their maintenance is unconscionable".

Thanks Tom for that information. I'm defintely not looking for a place
that doesn't value good maintenance!
