BmPilot21:

Yes, you are right, there is a B-767 simulator for hire in Florida: At the Pan-Am Flight Academy in Miami.

It is open to anybody wanting to pay the hourly fee.

I spent 5 days in that box myself this summer.

It is a pretty old and run-down simulator, but plenty good enough for learning how to disconnect the A/P and the A/T.

The visual, although old and "night only" does include landmarks and tall buildings, such as the WTC.

(Yes, I know, Pan-Am never had the B-757/B767. The simulator was bought in recent years from South American and shipped to MIA and installed there for contract training.)

Perhaps in the future simulator customers would be required to obtain a security clearance?
