If Neil Williams can do it in a Zlin, then, heck let's do that in the Max.


just sayin'

How's it going?
For info I was training a 737 guy on Lesson one FFS (first day on sim.). How to fly straight and level. Effect of power. That sort of boring but essential ab initial stuff.
After 3:45 of a four hour session, as was our custom, I asked if he wanted to try anything. He said 'can I have a play'. Of course - she's all yours.
Took off, turned it upside down, inverted climb out and circuit perfectly, base leg and finals inverted before rolling wings level for landing. Yes on the real thing it would have flamed out and the sim. didn't know that! But the handling was he said what he expected. He then showed me a loop and barrel roll. They have been my 737 party piece ever since.
Not on the real plane of course because the passengers get upset.
Cheers
