Folks,
It is very easy to check out, on the FAA web site, what you can do with varying grades of Flight Training Devices, short of a simulator.
Indeed, this latest announcement is further linear progress ---- rather than a big breakthrough, in using economical modern electronics.
It is a great pity we do not see the same logical thinking and associated progress here --- and it is both the fault of the "industry" and CASA --- the Australia aviation kneejerk NO!
I wonder why it is that Australia has a reputation for being early adopters of new technology, except aviation ---- and is the answer why aviation is100% the opposite as simple as a bureaucracy and their subjects wedded to "approval" --- nothing can happen until "it" is officially approved by the officially approved approving authority ---- and the bureaucratically safe answer is ALWAYS to say NO!!
Under the various legislation, under which the DoT and FAA work, a kneejerk NO! is not an option. There is no such restraint in Australia.
Tootle pip!!
