CX Sim ride

During the sim evaluation do you get an engine failure/fire. Could someone review their experience. Thanks

A bit off topic, but yesterday I sent an email asking about the $/hr of having a sim ride in Cathay city, and the cost is... $5500 HKD

My mum says, no way...

yea a bit off topic here but anyways

cathaypacific are u a member of their frequent flyer program asia miles? There's a miles reward for a 30mins and 1 hr sim ride at cathay city if you have 50000 and 100000 miles respectively.

i'm thinking to go on the 30 min session

grrrrrr

Back on topic, Yes you get an engine fire on downwind. Have a basic idea of the procedures and expect the rudder trim to come out at 1k. You will then break out at 500ft and have to do a manual landing. That how it was about a year ago.

Get some sim time if you can. I think they may to the sim ride in the -400 vs the -200 now. Anyone else have any info on that for this guy?
