I note that that DC3 and DC6 are found on the Fleet Installer, my roots are with the DC3 and DC4 in fact I learned to fly on line with the DC3 and have logged close to 600 hrs on another VA and still fly a couple hours per month there. I have access to old Delta routes there and much info. As of this date no test is shown in the Test Center. Is there an option to log the flights. I am qualified to fly the ATR does this bring in line for the DC3.

Actually the DC-3 is included in the overall scheme of the new DC-6 program that's being worked on. We don't have a test for the program as yet. I'll email you and we can work something out to get you the ratings.

Thanks for the fast reply and work to get me up and running in the DC3 now I need some company on occasionally to fly the prop jobs on line from time to time. Great fun hands on flying a change from the LVL D for sure.

If you want some good panels for the DC3 they have some really nice ones at DC3airways makes flying and navigating a little easier although the default panel is still good

Thanks Robert I am very familiar with the Dc3 web site and can confirm that the best available DC3 panels reside there with the exception of the MAAM.
