Fantastic service

I had a fantastic experience with David. He was easily contactable, broke down the process very easily for me and was able to book me in quickly at a time that suited me. Cannot recommend him enough and I will be returning in the future.

Exceptional LPC Renewal with a Top TRE

I renew my B737 LPC at Sim Guide every year with David, a senior TRE, and he is simply the best. His professionalism and expertise make the process smooth and efficient. I highly recommend him and will continue to renew my LPC with him every year.

UK to EASA licence conversion

A friend advised me to contact David Mather, the Sim Guide, to do my licence conversion from UK to EASA.
My experience with David and the Sim Guide has been a very positive one. I found it very professional and extremely supportive in guiding me through the nescessary steps getting all the paperwork done.
Also in the sim David proved to be a highly skilled professional. Both in checking, but also in his ability to give you the selfconfidence to go back on line, which in my opinion is the most important part of any check.

David is an excellent instructor

David is an excellent instructor, he gave myself and two colleagues training to become TRI on the B737 and this was over and above my expectations. We all passed with flying colours and will soon embark on training students flying for a number of UK airlines. Top Marks David

ATPL Skills Test

I approached The Sin Guide in order to unfreeze my ATPL. David showed a great deal of flexibility in booking us in at short notice and was incredibly helpful regarding the huge amount of paperwork required. The skills test itself was conducted in a profession, fair and friendly manner and David also gave some really useful tips regards the flying and operation of the B737. I would definitely recommend.
