Just figured I'd share this - CAE just let me know that the new Sim in Vegas is going to be a Phenom 300-G3000, and it will open in February, though they aren't taking reservations for it yet.
I had originally read that it would be convertible between a 100 and 300, and maybe that's still true, but in any case, I'm bummed that it doesn't have my avionics. Guess I'm still going to Dallas. -

09-27-2022, 10:57 AM #3FWIW, I did both my initial and recurrent in a G3000 even though I fly a G1000Nxi. I had G3k experience from my Phenom, but it's not hard to use either way.
Especially for recurrent (where you likely already know your own plane's avionics forward and backwards) I don't see any downside to using the G3000. -

10-16-2022, 06:07 PM #5I did my initial and a recurrent in the G3000 sim with no prior experience. I spent an hour with an instructor on the G3000 simulator to learn how to load approaches and to setup my screens to look like the G1000. The reality is all you really need to know how to do is load approaches; not very difficult.
