u/Big-Sea-750

Part 135, my company wants to send me for upgrade at FlightSafety. Never flown a sim before and this will be my first type rating.

They want me to do the abbreviated training (7 days) instead of the initial (11 days) , I have 700+ hours right seat. Recommendations online have said the initial is recommended if you have never flown a sim.

Difference in the 2

Abbreviated~ 8 hours in sim, 4 sessions

Initial~ 12 hours in sim, 6 sessions

Am I wrong for wanting to do the initial course ? Or should I just suck it up and do the abbreviated.

Thanks!
