writes: 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. I'm reminded of a cartoon in which someone picks up a phone, dials a number, and hears "U.S. Government, may I help you?" ATC doesn't need phone lists of simulators or airline pilots or anything of the kind. Even I can find an instructor pilot in a few minutes with a few calls. Air traffic control facilities can do the same thing, only much faster and much more easily. So ATC facilities have magic telephones? Give it a try and see if you can find someone qualified to run a simulator for a Boeing 757. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

The *engines turning* drains the fuel from the tanks. In other words there is a strict time limit on all of these activities. Can even this much be done, much less the actual talking-through-the-landing part? I'm doubtful myself. If anyone with airline logistics experience would like to weigh in, I'd love to hear about the practicality of simply finding the people and equipment from someone who knows. It seems to be pretty easy to find S&R, fire equipment, and military interception on short notice; why would it be hard to find an instructor? Your stupidity never ceases to amaze. All of the people you list in the first clause are in positions that are staffed and on-call and prepared to respond. Instructors are not emergency responders. It seems to be pretty easy to get an ambulance on short notice, why would it be hard to find a painter? Airports don't keep instructors sitting around on call ready to leap into action at a moment's notice the way they do S&R, firemen, and military interceptors. -- Mike Ash Radio Free Earth Broadcasting from our climate-controlled studios deep inside the Moon |

Ohhh sure that's a reliable evaluation. What did they say: "perfect simulation of the G1000" No. |

Therefore we can rest assured that his posts will be devoid of any significance other than thinly disguised arrogance and disdain for those who have taken the initiative to learn something. This is an extremely retrograde position, and indicative of a very disturbed personality. So a simmer is unqualified to discuss flying, but a pilot is qualified to diagnose psychological disorders? Explain the seeming contradiction here. As for aeronautical considerations - he would do as well to get into long-range weather forecasting. There are a lot of people predicting the weather 100 years from now who are no more qualified to do so than I am. |
