Sim Eval

Is the sim ride in a -200, -300 or -400? Can you use the flight directors for any aspect of the ride? How about the auto pilot during the emergency? I have seen it mentioned that you use your current ops procedures for the ride and our "technique" is to place the AP on during the engine fail checklist. If you tell the other guy to run the engine fail/fire check will he do it?

Thanks

No flight director, no auto-pilot. They may help but don't count on it. My sim eval was on the 200 however some have been on the 400. You will be told well before the interview which one to expect.

Thanks Marbles1

I have become an FMS/EFIS/Flight director cripple. I just flew a 737-200 sim while giving a tour of our training facility and it was ugly. I may turn a few knobs on my current airplane and make it look like a round dial for a few legs in the coming weeks.
