Simulators

If a pilot needs fear of death to fly correctly and safely, he has a serious
psychological problem. And if the risk of death is part of the appeal of
flying for him, he also has a serious problem. Both of these are highly
correlated with poor piloting.

WRONG.

I'm sure the NTSB will mention this in its report.

They say the last words of many private pilots before an accident are often
"Watch this!"

It is unfortunate that even when you have something of value to
contribute to these endless argumentative threads involving you, your
glaringly obvious bias against pilots takes control over your comment.
Some of what you have said concerning the value of simulation in
teaching emergency procedures holds truth but your argument is
weakened by your bias.

I have no bias against pilots. I just know that many of them aren't nearly as
expert in aviation as they'd like to believe, especially the low-time PPLs
that seem to haunt this group (or at least seem to be the most prolific
posters).

Pray tell, just how much time have you spent in a real plane behind
the yoke? Lets see just how much PIC time you can stack up against
the majority of the posters in the group.

Let me guess.

A. You wont answer
B. Your PIC time by FAA standards are far less then 99.99999 percent
of the posters in this group.
C. My guess your PIC time is zero.

All your sim time don't even stack up the reality of flying a real
plane because MSFS is not an FAA endorsed simulator is it?

Let me guess, you are not even a CGI either are you?

You single handedly are the haunt of this group pretending you pilot
C152, barons, Lears cross country and PRESENTING it as if you are in a
real plane.

None--at least none in flight. So what?

Why?

Even if it were a FAA-certified simulator, it would not necessarily qualify as
PIC time.

However, certified simulators are overrated. A certified simulator isn't
necessarily a good simulator ... it's just a certified simulator. That means
that the FAA lets you log time on the sim for certain purposes under certain
conditions--and nothing more. Many simulators are specialized for a certain
purpose: they simulate one aspect of flying with perfect or near-perfect
fidelity, but they hardly simulate anything else at all. And if it's
certified, it's always overpriced.

I don't fly Learjets; I fly a Citation X instead. I use that aircraft for
flights suited to bizjets.

Anyway, if I talk about my simulation and people think I'm flying a real
airplane, then my simulation must be pretty good (it fooled the FAA once). On
the other hand, if it's obvious that I'm simulating, then it doesn't matter if
I don't mention the fact, does it?

I know a lot about a number of different aircraft because I've flown them in
simulation. Many PPLs don't know anything about any airplane except the one
they usually fly. I see examples of the latter regularly here.

That is a very revealing statement. If you talk about simulated flying
experience and you do not inform the listener your experience was simulated it
simply means you are faking. If some people do not call you on it immediately,
it is only because most of us are charitable enough not to assume we're being
lied to until it becomes obvious.

It will not take long, based on your contributions here, for any real pilot to
understand you know far less than you imagine and have a poor grasp of the
fundamentals of flying.

You statement here indicates clearly you do not use simulation in its own
right, for edification and enjoyment, but that you spend your time trying to
fool people (including the FAA) into believing you are a pilot.

Demonstrates you are not proficient in flying real planes. In fact,
you can't even say you are a proficient pilot. Maybe a proficient
MSFS pilot, but not a pilot of a real plane. As stated in another
thread, the two are not the same (MSFS and real life piloting an
airplane)

Let me guess, you are not even a CGI either are you?

No. So what?

Demonstrates you are not a credible source for flying real airplanes.

Demonstrates you are not an honest person
Demonstrates you pretend you are something you are not.

Which is more then what you know. You don't fly a real airplane do
you?

I flew a Beech Sundowner. I don't need to know anything about Beech
Barons, Sieras, Lears, Citations do I? All I need to know is what a
Beech Sundowner does in the real world.

Nothing bad happens to me with my Beech Sundowner add in on MSFS.
Worst thing that happens is I restart MSFS.

I can't say the same in my real life Beech Sundowner or something
really bad will happen. What part of that do you not
understand???????????

I'm sure you see it this way, and there might even be some degree of
truth in what you're saying but after watching your posting on these
groups for a long time I unfortunately can't agree.
If, for example, you put forth in comment what you have said here in
this post about pilots as an isolated and pertinent comment and that
comment was backed up by enough experience flying to make your comment
viable, I could see that.
But you instead make these negative comments about pilots incessantly.
In fact, your negativity about pilots stands out to me and others I'm
fairly certain as a constant.
This unfortunately constitutes a bias that as I have said, weakens
what you have to say.
Anyone can put forth a generalization such as "there are pilots who
aren't as expert in aviation as they'd like to believe". Of course
there are, as there are as well pilots in aviation who are a great
deal MORE expert in aviation than they like to convey to others.
AS a simulator user, you are of course entitled to an opinion of
pilots as is anyone else for that matter. You state a negative
generality about pilots as you do once and it's an opinion. You do it
constantly as you do and it's a bias, and unfortunately, due to your
lack of actual aviation experience, an uneducated bias as well. You
are even entitled to an uneducated opinion about pilots, but as I say,
you do it as often as you do and it constitutes a bias that weakens
any truth in your accompanying comment.
