Merlin Flight Simulator for Leeds Uni project

[Katelou1]

Hi,

Im in my third year at Leeds Uni and i have been given the title "modelling aviation meteorology on the Merlin Flight Simulator" for my disertation. Does anyone have any information on the way the Merlin Sim represents weather in comparison to a larger sim for a commercial jet. I would appreciate any other information anyone has which they think will be useful for my disertation.

Thanks

I think the Merlin simulator referred to is not the military helicopter, but a simulator built for flight research and design exercises at universities and constructed by Merlin Simulation who had a manufacturing facility, i think, in Sussex. I think John Farley, the former Hawker test pilot, was involved, with students designing control systems and John assessed them, apart from the students trying themselves. I did have a small amount of publicity from them that I picked up at the 1988 (?)Farnborough Show which I may still have it in the loft.

Who gives JAA Merlin IIB type ratings ? Is the Metro TR also valid for the Merlin ?

Thanks
