Canuckian and friends,
Well done to you all. I, like many others, am waiting anxiously for my sim and 2nd interview this Spring. I know most of you wil have benefited from all the info on this thread so, if you don't mind, I'd really like to hear from all of you about the sim ride: what you found hard, less hard, tips, gotchas and other things you discovered the hard way and any other debrief points you can think of so that we, wannabes out here, can build up a picture of what to expect.
I know there's quite a lot of info out here, but since you're all on a well-earnt high maybe you can give us the most recent feedback?
Many thanks
'round midnight.

'round midnight,
No probs I'd be happy to share.
The sim is very much a straight forward thing. No suprises at all. Just study the profile you're sent by post, know the rough power settings and attitudes and you should get the desired effect. The guys who are evaluating you are great. If you are scheduled on the 744 unit try and get some exposure to the PFD and ND for that will greatly ease the work load and reduce the scan time. You should be briefed by a sim instructor and perhaps given an opportunity for a quick Q 'n A on the systems required to pilot the sim. This is not the time to discover "new things" but only to get clarification. You should study the cockpit, systems and flight characterictics as much ahead of time, whether it be through bought sim time, fs2004 programs or perhaps you can get an idea just by reading about it. Usually there will be 2 gentlemen with you in the sim. One simply to operate it and the other to act as your green PNF/evaluator(who is known to forget calls). Expect to brief your PNF on the calls you would like and he will advise you what calls he can't make. If you ask for a "localizer alive or localizer moving" call he may say no problem but then choose to forget when the time comes, so stay alert and be ready for some incapacitation.
Follow the profile exactly and try to call and correct any exceedance of the stated tollerances. Above and beyond anything the most important things are universal in any eval. Don't arrive hungry, be as relaxed as the situation permits and don't forget your manners/airsmanship. With these covered I'm sure you'll do great!
Oh yah, one more thing, it may be your only time to pilot a 744 so HAVE FUN!
