Firstly I need to state my experience level with regards to instructing: I have a CPL/IR MCC but no airline experience, so there may be folks coming who have similar or more experience than myself. But I have flown the sim several times before and come free of charge, so will try to be as helpful and informative as possible.
If people want to pair up as Pilot Flying / Pilot Not Flying and just have me leaning over your shoulders making suggestions, that is fine by me - I can be ATC / trolley dolley / sim setter-upper! Alternatively I am happy to sit in the other seat for people. I expect that most people will want to be hands on flying, so I'm happy to be PNF for you.
It's really up to you - what you feel the most comfortable with. Please tell me before you go in if there is anything in particular you want to do. Unfotunately the sim visuals aren't quite good enough to do a loop under the Thames bridges (hey they're pretty good when you consider they're 1970's vintage), but apart from that things are pretty flexible within the capabilities of the sim, for instance:
- We could bash takeoffs to radar vectored ILS approaches to practice handling the Trident
- We could fly a SID to an airway and have a look at multi-crew procedures
- etc. etc.
Basically I'm cool doing whatever: it really is up to you!
cheers!
