Well three days of sim. training and a break for a few days. All the theory and ground schooling being put into practice. Each sim. detail lasts 4 hours. 2 hours as pilot flying and 2 as pilot non-flying. We have a tight syllabus to follow and although intense it is exciting and fascinating at the same time. The 737 is a smart aircraft that can leave you way behind if you don't keep up. On the other hand it's great getting into the swing of things and working with your crew mate as a team. We have been running through general flying characteristics, stalls, engine failiures, windsheer recoveries and RTO's to name but a few; as well as all the basic IR stuff you thought you'd never need!

More updates to follow as they happens hot of the press!!
