Welll... a simulation is never perfect. If it were it'd be reality. Correct. Simulation approaches but does not attain this objective. In practice, simulation can be perfect for a given subset of the reality to be simulated, but not for all of it. Thus, you can have a simulator that perfectly simulates some (possibly large) subset of the reality of flying, but no simulator covers everything. The usual goal is to create a simulation that covers a subset useful for the purpose for which the simulation is being used. For example, an instrument-flight simulator may perfectly simulate the behavior of instruments, and this may fulfill the purpose of the simulator, even though other aspects of the reality of flying are not simulated. In general, many aspects of reality are not worth simulating, and some are even undesirable in some cases. For example, you would not design a simulator that kills the pilot in the event of a simulated crash. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

You're kidding, right? (simulating a laugh) Based on his response to you, clearly never been near an airport :-) nor does he read carefully, wants it all spoon fed to him..... Maybe one contacts ground after departure in anticipation for that off airport emergency landing LOL Allen |

There would be little advantage to simulation as a training tool if mistakes left the pilot dead. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I don't fly to any of the away games. That almost never works.
Weather's too crappy and you need a car anyways at the other end. Not much of a transition moving up, the kids handle it fine. Where are you located?

It was actually warmer inside the rink than outside tonight, with the OAT hovering at -4degrees. With two to three practices and at least one to two games on the weekends it cuts into the flying time. However, we try to fly to his games, even if it's only a 15 minute ride. Of course going to the distant tournaments really becomes more fun- and I usually commute by plane rather than drive. Was it a big transition going from squirt to checking? My son isn't very big, so I'm concerned about him getting crushed. |

My son plays in WAHA (I think it stands for Wisconsin amateur hockey
association) as a second year squirt in the Elm Brook program. I am the level director and one of the assistant coaches for his team. Flying to tournaments works for us, since my wife generally drives, and I fly up for the games. I have a lot of other responsibilities related to work and the Air Force, so this gives me more time to get other stuff done on the weekends, as well as an opportunity to fly. Who could ask for more? Last night we were trying to teach the defense to cut off the player coming out of the offensive zone without drawing an interference penalty- it's tough to make a play on the puck and cut the player off as well and make it look like they were just playing the puck. I tried to get the kids to turn toward the player coming out of the zone, and not the puck. Do you have any input on this move from the ref's perspective? "Newps" wrote in message . ..
