Well he said most of his training was done in a 400 sim which I have used extensively. My suggestion was it didn't have a FPV which shouldn't be used anyway if he flies one with it- it is more of an unnecessary complication than a benefit to an inexperienced pilot. We have FPV on the 747- we do not use them or are trained in their use. Personally, I like it, but it's for advanced flying only. I suggested on page 2
I would think at this stage it is more of a complication than worth having.
EPR. N1. What's the difference? It's still only a power setting, and EPR is what he'd have been using at Cranebank.
When you come back to idle for landing and rollout in a 737, asymmetric thrust is just about negligible. If you imagine any difference, it's more than I ever saw! If you land with approach type rudder trim on, that will give you a surprise when you come back to idle and land, forgetting the trim is there. I was just warning him of a little effect that has sprung up on me. I wasn't trying to go into the academical theory of flying, just a few of the most important pointers for someone in his position flying a simulator I know well.
