Information in advance
A grading / assessment training at SimFlying is always tailor-made. Together with the instructor, you can determine the content of the booking: assessment training with us starts with a briefing, in which you can indicate what you want to train and for which company. You also have the option to make video footage of the session, so that you can watch the training later.
If available, you can send your briefing package in advance to info@simflying.nl for optimal preparation of our instructors.
SimFlying has a lot of recent experience (2025) with the gradings of KLM, Transavia, TUI Netherlands and Belgium, Ryanair, CityJet, SunExpress and Corendon Dutch Airlines.
It is advisable to bring a simbuddy. This allows the instructor to fully focus on giving instructions without having to function as Pilot Monitoring at the same time.
