And it is quite possible you are insane. Do you think the Air Force is going to do primary training in anything other than cheap (by comparison) primary trainers? I don't know how the Air Force sets its priorities. I don't think money is always a key factor. "I don't know how" being the operative part. Do you think the Air Force is going to do primary training in anything other than cheap (by comparison) primary trainers? Nope, because such pilots wouldn't be allowed to fly out of the third world and real simulators that accurately simulate actual flight cost more than primary trainers. Real simulators for large airliners are cheaper than the airliners themselves. But not cheaper than much of anything less than an airliner, which is the point. Yeah, computers were invented making it possible to build a simulator. Simulators substantially predate computers. Not simulators that actually simulate reality. And, FYI, the FAA has been talking about increasing the flight time requirements for pilots flying paying customers, not decreasing them or using simulation. Experience is always an asset. Good to see that you are not totally insane. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
