My A320 type rating was done under this "FORCE" course.
The first few sims were simply about hand flying, in fact they were done before any major ground school/CBT just the basics about control laws etc. to get you going.
At the time I enjoyed it, but had just come off the end of a 40 hour MCC / Jet Handling Course on the Airbus so I was probably about as current on hand flying as I will be at any point in my career.
At the time, I thought it was a good idea, however those type rating hours seem like an absolute age ago now and like many others would love the opportunity to hand fly more on the line.
