Simulator:



Me and my partner were the last in the simulator. I started as PM and we flew a modified SID out of Liverpool RWY 27 (Straight ahead to 3 DME from IBQ then right turn to 360 climb and maintain 5000 ft.) A bit of airwork (climbs, descends, turns) nothing special. Then a full procedure for ILS RWY 27 go around, and then reposition on 10 nm final for a full stop.



When i was PF the simulator kind of broke down, and i had to fly the ”whole” simulator part without autothrust, heading bug, altitude bug or flight directors. I think i flew 15 minutes with no emergencies only a take-off, some airwork and then reposition on 10 nm final for full stop landing.



Good luck out there guys!
