RTC In Florida

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Recurrent Training Center (RTC) has evolved under new ownership (ASE) from a budget provider to a premium training facility with improved professionalism, expanded aircraft offerings, and excellent customer service.
  • The author's recurrent training at RTC Florida was largely positive, particularly noting the availability of WINGS program credit for flight review and well-structured exercises.
  • A significant challenge was the simulator's generic configuration (e.g., round dials vs. EFIS), which differed from the author's highly modified aircraft and limited the effectiveness of training for specific abnormals and overall proficiency transfer, a common industry issue for simulators of older aircraft.

Since I’ve turned more pages in my personal calendar, my insurance required recurrent training increased from once in two years to every year. As much as I hate to admit it, the performance I demonstrated this year—although I was legally current and felt somewhat proficient—suggests that is a reasonable demand.

This year, I chose Recurrent Training Center. I’ve attended RTC before, but only in their original location outside Champagne, Illinois. RTC since opened a location in Odessa, Florida, outside Tampa. I wanted to compare the training in Florida.
