Avroliner,
Appreciate your interest.
To answer your questions:
1. Does a simulator exist for your type of aircraft ?
Yes, we do have the simulator for the aircraft. However, the graphics aren't great. It also will not be able to show the complexities of radar vectors, ATC chatter and so forth.
2. Could you justify the use of such equipment when there are so many issues regarding interference with fight instruments?
This is one of the issues we want to be resolved. If interference is a problem, how does the others do it? I saw a Discovery documentary showing the pilots in the cockpit flying from Canada to Europe. There are also other issues we are looking at especially on how to make the equipment secure in the cockpit.
3. Do you have a policy on who sits in jumpseat
At this moment, there is no policy regarding that yet. Most probably we will put a pilot on the jumpseat to do the recording.
Rgds..
