Co-pilots May Sim instead of Fly to Train
"Mxsmanic" wrote in message
... Do I think either of them could do it for real just because they did it in the office on the sim - nope, not a chance. What does this tell me? - just because you can do it in the sim doesn't mean you can do it when it counts. No, it just tells you that you don't believe they could do it for real. Without actually trying it, you'll never know. Would you care to sit in the back seat when someone tries this? Do a search of the NTSB records and see how many "continued VFR" type accidents you can find. There's a good chance that they could do it for real, depending on their personalities. Preposterous. The sim has its place for sure, but it will never replace actual experience. Saying that over and over doesn't make it true. Obviously nothing, including facts and real world evidence will suffice to convince you. I did my first skydive quite awhile ago before tandems were popular. I That was you. But not everyone is like you. Yes, that is true. BDS |

Maybe so, but it's a far cry from the type of simulation you are doing sitting in front of your PC. There are all different types of simulation, and they all have their purpose. Just idling an engine is not at all the same as losing it completely, and in this instance, a PC simulation may actually be closer to reality. The level of stress is much higher and the pilot gets experience performing under stress. There's a lot more to flying than stress. Stress isn't any good if you don't know what to do. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

What good is practicing a procedure if you die in the process? Obviously nothing, including facts and real world evidence will suffice to convince you. Facts and real-world evidence are persuasive. Emotional outbursts, repetition, and personal attacks are not. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Mxsmanic wrote: Nobody had ever done what that crew did in terms of flying. None of their real-world experience helped. The cooperation and professionalism of the crew had nothing to do with flying. You've contradicted your earlier position with this statement. Without crew cooperation (how many did it take to control the crippled acft?) all would have been lost. Okay, you have just showed your total ignorance on this subject. Without technical skills, CRM alone wouldn't have kept the plane from becoming a lawn dart. The technical skills required were not especially great. Remind me again, how someone with no flight time would have *any* insight into this? That's what being a professional pilot is about - keeping your cool when things aren't going exactly by the book. That has nothing to do with flying. A great many professionals in other domains are exactly the same way. The situation would be the same during brain or heart surgery, with no airplane in sight. Yes it has everything to do with flying - WTF was the subject of this thread? This forum? It seems to me your reality disconnect makes it impossible for you to follow a rational discussion (which leads to argument) When you contradict yourself, and make broad statement without the life experience to back it up, what little credibility you have goes down the sh!tter. Other than that I enjoy reading your posts : ) |

But that's not flying skill. Remind me again, how someone with no flight time would have *any* insight into this? Flight time is not a prerequisite for such reasoning. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
