Ernie Martin is an unknown quantity at this point
Let me ask, if you've got like 400 hrs on the Skymaster and do extensive biennials, how important do you all see simulator training? I fly only in good VFR conditions, have had my share of "incidents" (blown nose tire on landing, failed rear engine while climbing at 1000 feet, and aborted take-off at 50 ft which overran the runway by 20 yds) and have therefore never considered going through sim training. But then Kevin, which I figure has probably more experience than me, is planning a session on April.

Aside from insurance requirements, can we get a dialog going here on your views. If you've gone through it, tell us why the rest of us should. If you haven't, tell us why you didn't think it was important.
