1-11 Sim

Gunman,

I agree with JD. It seems to be a test of how you are as a member of a team on the flightdeck. Help out your partner as much as possible. Use the 10 mins you have before the exercise to get as much planning done as possible. (Where to divert to, possible holding fixes etc.)

You are bound to get a diversion at some stage. Do as JD suggested. It will probably be procedural so the NHP will be maxed out setting up stuff for the HP. Think this through at the briefing stage.

When things are getting fraught during the exercise you can expect to be asked some questions by the examiner. These are mental arithmetic type probs to try to distract you!

On the plus side the sim is not the beast to fly I had expected. Although the autopilot was more a hinderance than a help!

All the best for tuesday.
