Reasonable charge for flight sim
Hi,
The microlight school at popham has a very good flight sim.
They find, though, that the customers prefer to fly the real thing - or not "fly" at all.
One useful trick is to get students to do their cross-countries on the sim first - using photo-real software add-ons.
Another they do is package 10 hours of flight time with two hours of sim time in one discount deal.
As for charges, an instructor is an instructor and worth paying as such - be it in the air or on the ground. The idea of "flight pay" as some compensation for "risk", I presume, seems outdated to me.
Not being military, we also don't need to acknowledge the maintenance of certain skill levels.
Which school is it for?
Very best wishes,
Colin
