crwjerk "Why is Simulator 5 listed in "Expiries in next 3 months?"
Volume 7.
Simulator 5 includes the Wind-shear schedule 11 requirement which previously was in the RT/PC cycle.
Why?
Because if there was no regulatory requirement for this Sim, then it would appear on the published roster but would be quickly cancelled by 8929.
Everyone has to do this from the DFO to the most junior JFO. This duty will probably be at an anti-social time of the day, but there is good evidence to suggest that we all need some training.
With the crew shortage I am amazed that the bean counters have not squeezed this Simulator out of the syllabus.
