BA Simulator Practice

Low cost BA simulator assessment practice is available at Virtualflight (near Horsham, W.Sussex) on the 737NG, which is the best compromise for price and relevance. Contact with the quoted Monarch Captain (with good candidate success rate) can be achieved via Virtualflight. The reference to Bournemouth simulator usage is now out of date. The B727 Sim at EAL - Bournemouth used to be used, however, as BA now use the B747-400 (and no longer use the BAC 1-11) for DEP sim assessments the 737NG is more appropriate for preparation. Whilst clearly different to the 747-400 there is significant benefit, especially for current FBW-Airbus pilots, in using this low cost sim with tailored instruction.
