Do sim pilots log their time?

Instrument Rated pilots don't land on the gauges, they use visual
reference.

I am one who supports practicing, with a safety pilot of course, flying
an ILS all the way to touchdown a couple of times a year (you know the
drill -- start backing off throttle at the MM, give up on glide slope,
keep the localizer centered, feel ground effect, flare and touch down).
Don't do it in a crosswind. Knowing you can gives you one more tool
should conditions really turn to crap in real life.

Yet, even when I downloaded his current aircraft, and set him up at his

can think of is that he apparently flies his real aircraft "by feel"
more than most of us do, and the simulator obviously is lacking in
"feel", since it is not a full-motion sim.Yup. Put him in a full-motion sim, and I'm sure he'll be able to land
effortlessly. Turn off the motion in the full-motion sim, and you'll
probably see the same problems you're seeing in your sim.

Does this pilot ever fly IFR?

It will be interesting to see if the new computer system I've ordered
-- which will help to make the sim experience as realistic as possible
-- helps the situation, or if it's strictly a motion-related problem
that can't be resolved.Instrument-rated pilots apparently resolve it.

Not relavant to this newsgroup. And even if it was a pilot isn't
landing a Cat 3c airplane, the computer is.

Instrument approaches and landings are not relevant to a piloting
newsgroup? Why?

And even if it was a pilot isn't landing a Cat 3c airplane, the computer is.

Then why does the pilot have to be instrument rated?

How many times have you landed in zero visibility? You don't just
push a button.

In Cat IIIC you do.

He was wrong again. At least that is a consistent thing, for him.

Yeah... He is quite a phenomenon.

I have killfiled him, but when he makes a stupid one-liner remark that is
easily and factually refuted with a link, I just can't help myself.

No, you don't. There's quite a procedure to carry out an autolanding.

Did you by any chance check to see who wrote this article?

Yes, you do. It's required. Cat 3c is an autoland. The pilot is there
to monitor the electronics. He does not land the plane.

Why? All instrument approaches are flown by pilots, including Cat
IIIc.

He doesn't autoland by pushing a button. There's quite a checklist.
In fact, it appears to be similar in workload to a visual approach,
except that the time is spent configuring the FMC or autopilot rather
than manipulating the yoke or pedals. And with zero visibility and/or
generally bad weather, the stress factor is certainly an additional
workload.
