Hi Rev- I found the sim flight to be quite fun actually although the rest of the day was fillled with nerves.
In my case, the examiner was a current training captain (not sure if he still flies with an airline although i suspect he does part time).
He clearly stated at the beginning that if you have any questions then ask him and thats exactly what I did.
Their real job in CTC is training pilots and I found him to be very patient and helpful. However this doesnt mean to say that he'll do everything for you - rather that if you have any questions such as power=descent rate /attidue = speed then do do do ask.
I also found it was useful to talk outloud but then I find that helps me with my flying generally.
Good luck to you anyways

Rev, good luck with stage 4 mate - Sure all will go well!
Just want to find out, is it cheaper to hire a car in Bournemouth or to take a taxi. Everytime I seem to take a taxi this horrible feeling of getting blindly ripped off comes to mind...

CP42 Baby!!
Evening All,
Past my stage 4 today and have been placed with CP42 for the meet and greet on the 26th Oct and flying out on the 22 November. A massive congrats to pre3mhjt and sam109 who were also successful today but have been placed on CP43 (don't blame yourself lads - bring on the Cp42/43 banter!!) I think I got CP42 coz my paperwork was ready to go and I'll only need a short course. To the best of my knowledge the CP42 long course are going out real soon, I'll have to drag my way back through this thread to find the departure date.
Oh yeah, and whilst I'm here - I have a fabulous pink polo shirt so I hope I fit in with the rest of you guys........... allbeit a bit late. Eitherway cant wait to meet you all and contribute to the ever expanding team that is CP42.
