The important part is that everything in the cockpit must look as it does in real life, since much of the training (in the case of airline pilots, for example) is intended to reinforce procedures that are intimately connected to the ergonomy of the flight deck. It wouldn't do to train pilots for engine failures on take-off using simulator cockpits that have controls in positions different from those of the real thing--it would defeat the entire purpose of the training, in fact. So these aspects are very important. Which is why such simulators are built from real airplane parts with real switches and consoles and cost millions. What is outside the window, in contrast, is usually not important in these types of simulations, although some things, such as airport surfaces, must be accurately simulated. Nonsense. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

I have also seen these reactions, and they do not match your assertion. I highly doubt someone who is admittedly afraid of just about everything in life has been in many life or death situations, if any at all. How many realistic sims down to the switch position level for any given random aircraft do you thing exist in the world given they cost millions of dollars? Quite a few ... and you only need one. Quite a few amounts to a very small number scattered about the globe and ATC has no phone list of such simulators, much less a list sorted by aircraft type, and the numbers of people qualified to run such a simulator. You are delusional. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Sad day for Mxsmanic
Aah yes - the famous MXS mantra. It's so easy, any monkey can do it. The only humans who are functionally incapable of performing these simple tasks are pilots themselves, because their intelligence is so impaired they cannot even realize they are the least capable of doing their own job . . . This posted to a pilot's forum, intermixed with angelic "who-me?" rhetoric. Anyone detect passive-aggressive intent here? To quote Frost : What but Design - design to appall If design govern in a brain so small. . . Lamentable. Find a doctor - it's urgent . . . In article , says... It's actually easier to land an airliner than it is to land a small aircraft, because small aircraft usually have only limited automation, just as small aircraft pilots usually have no clue about how large airliners work, and tend to assume that everything flies like their Cessnas. |

Cheers Has there been instances where arguments of MX v anyone have been resolved, except in the mind of the person typing the last message? Do as Obama did during the primaries -- look down on the combantants and watch the others chase their tails. |
