I know this. I have been told hovering is like standing on a beach
ball with your eyes closed. But physical sensation of flight is the
same whether you be in a helicoptor or a fixed wing. You can't ignore
that in the real world. So, in spite of your denial, your past flight
experiences are relevent.

I could *NOT* have done that without the five hours
in the Frasca.


I know this too.

You are a bunch of bunk if you think someone without REAL WORLD flight
experience can get into a Frasca non motion simulator, work it for 5
hours, walk out to the ramp and PROFICIENTLY go fly a REAL helicoptor
WITHOUT any type of real world flying experiences experiencing the
sensation of flight. Operative word is PROFICIENT. Anybody can shake
the stick or rudder around and even get beginners luck.

Next think I bet you will say is that you can conduct flight in IMC in
the real world based on MSFS experiences and no real world flight
experience. Same concept, just t'waint going to happen..

But if you wish to brag that you are superman or the next Hoover,
carry on, I won't stop you. :-)

Over and out...
