Possibly the major benefit of a jet simulator, is in its ability to supply excellent training to get a commercial pilot’s license. Though bona fide lessons will also be required, all the essentials are taken care of. The flight controls are a sympathetic representation, whilst functions such as steering are extremely well configured. You will find many types of simulators to select from. There are commercial jet, little jet and fighter jet. It all depends on what kind of plane you are interested in flying. As such, use of them is open to not only individuals thinking about taking up flying as a profession; but individuals wishing to understand for fun and for individual use. They can also be utilized as a hobby for themselves. Indeed, any and all of the extremes of flight, often such as G force sensations could be felt. And, experiencing what a plane is like under total decompression, engine failure, wind shear, traffic avoidance to mention just some of the manouevres modern day simulators are capable of reproducing. With many planes to try too, it is something to look at. There are an increasing number of centres opening up their jet simulator for public access and, though generally for the pro or enthusiast, a growing number of fans are beginning to appreciate them. It truly can make for an excellent day for all. |

I agree, modern simulators are quite good and able to simulate most situations. However, there is still a lack of simulation when it comes to things like radio communication. The instructor has limited possibilities to represent the busy environment typically present when arriving/departing at a big airport. While turbulence and G forces can be simulated to some degree, the extremes can not. It would simply break the motion system. So you can fly 'unusual attitude' exercises, rolls and loops, but the G forces will not be what it would be in real. At least no yet.  flightwork.com - International Pilot Network |
