About SimCheck International

Advanced Professional Pilot Training

Company History

SimCheck was founded on the principles of honesty, integrity, and professionalism. In September 2010 Mark Kutch and Juan G Mendez began training operations at SimCheck. Mark has over 30 years in the Airline world and provides us with the perspective of Air Carrier Operations. Mark also spent over 3 years working with Precision Flight Controls on simulator engineering, test, and development.

Juan's background includes over 40 years in Military and Corporate flying, with experience in Flight Training and Operations, and Command and Leadership roles. Mark and Juan were drawn together by a strong mutual belief that the industry needed training extending well beyond the cookie-cutter approach. SimCheck creates tailored training scenarios that can best be conducted in a simulator and then applied in the aircraft.

Mission

SimCheck trains primarily professional pilots and owner pilots using their aircraft for business, utilizing advanced simulator technology to train pilots to optimum proficiency and competency.

SimCheck International provides insurance-approved individualized advanced flight training for individual pilots, owner-operators, and corporate flight departments. Our training includes reviews of important regulations and IFR concepts and procedures which are generally not taught in initial or recurrent training.

SimCheck Training is conducted under FAR Part 61 and 91. We believe our mission is to provide our clients with a world-class training experience. We strive to teach, share experience, and engage in reciprocal learning with pilots in an environment that provides them the opportunity to be safer, more knowledgeable, and unerringly proficient in the safe operation of their aircraft.

SimCheck International is committed to training in a flexible learning environment using immersive flight simulation as a platform for training pilots whose lives and livelihoods depend on core and advanced flying skills. We believe that strengthening our clients' risk management ability through the challenge of training elicits each pilot's best effort during training.

Training Philosophy

Realism In Training Scenarios

SimCheck was founded to provide training that is typically not available in our industry, regardless of cost. The industry professionals we work with consistently articulate the need for such training. Insurance underwriters, dedicated examiners, flight instructors, and pilots have cited less than acceptable pilot performance, which has resulted in accidents and injury or death. Our training is conducted to address these concerns.

Industry leaders, including pilots, have signaled a strong need for training that goes well beyond the "square filling." Accordingly, our philosophy embodies a standard that uses measured realism combined with an emphasis on critical actions and core aviation skills. We accomplish this by understanding the pilot's needs and meeting those needs in our academic and simulator curriculum. We tailor the training curriculum to match pilot needs and capabilities.

Training That Elicits Effort Beyond The Day-To-Day

At SimCheck, we have interpreted the voices of the industry as a request for more than a "check ride" with routine profiles. Our curriculum is written to provide challenging training enriched with integrated systems activity and weather that elicits higher mental activity than is typical in day-to-day flying.

Our curriculum is targeted toward training in areas where pilots typically are not challenged in a training situation. We know that training that places the pilot outside their day-to-day flying, produces lasting learning experiences that provide positive value for our clients. We also believe that thoroughly reviewing the training's specifics before flying is the best way to achieve the most effective learning.

Our primary objective is more than simply "checking a box"; we want you, the pilot, to be more knowledgeable and capable. We believe training in an environment that is flexible, challenging, and highly conducive to learning will produce a better result through a more capable pilot. High-risk tasks are trained in a no-risk environment. The level of difficulty is matched to your capability. You will be challenged. We encourage you to train with SimCheck to achieve your personal training goals.
