I got one hour in a 737 flight simulator for a birthday present. I think I landed OK, but don't really know how much input the guy in the right hand seat was giving (a lot, I suspect). I do recall that when asked to change course
- to a specified bearing
- while maintaining altitude
- and not more than 25 degree bank
I could do any
two of those things.
I did fly a hang glider for a few years without hurting anybody, but except for close attention to the vario and occasional glances at altimeter I did not use instruments at all. (It all goes ominously quiet when you are about to stall....)
