Some Auld boy in the commitee decided that the club would benifit from a station with feeback joystick and pedals and MSFS.
Crap day sea Haar in and we decided that we should all learn to fly a helicopter. Tried and tried and apart from pulling full collective and as soon as it lifted sticking the nose down we crashed. Another instructor who had a few hours in a robbie came in at lunch same thing.
Thought sod it lets go and find the helimed pilot he looks pretty !!!! hot the way he handles that eurocopter we must be rubbish.
Same thing for him.
I used to used it to brief the instrument scan bit and vors and ADF but not the visual flying as Pace says.
Apart from that I never saw anyone use it apart from flying under bridges in a 747 and kids playing on it.
