sim time vs actual flight time
I'm sure this has been asked lots of times before but I can't seem to find previous threads.
What is the general opinion on sim time as part of a IR course. Is it more desirable to have more actual flight time than sim time ? For example, the AFT IR course is 40 hours in the sim and the rest in the air. What are the advantages of this ? It certainly doesn't seem to bring the cost down.
