I always enjoyed the S76B sim sessions at West Palm. Pleasant instructors, enough time to cover the sequences, and a bit of time for looking at things I wanted to revise.

Sure, it doesn't behave like the actual machine, and we all knew it - hovering was a horse's patootie, so we would get into forward flight as ASAP as possible. The visuals (this is 13 years ago) could sometimes topple my eyeballs, but again we knew it was just a representation. But the training value was still there. The ground school was excellent.
