Post Share sim time in Sydney

Hi Ppruners,

i hope i don't sound ignorant but can you please tell me what you mean by sharing sim time? is it because you need rent some kind of a simulator and you want someone to share with you to split costs?

thats usually the way it's meant. and since flightdecks have 2 seats (mostly) u can share the fun. and the cost. and switch seats half way thru. and the guy to join up can act as CP/FO, so the instructor usually provided with the sim can focus on operating the scenario controls.

I gather from Guys who have done this; you pay QF $xxxx for your hour(s) in the seat and then your free to sit in the jump seat and observe your buddy run through his/her profile (and vice versa) ie you get an hour PF and an hour 'observing' for the same bucks. If you go by yourself then obviously you don't get to watch anyone else do the profile.

And as you all know you have far more spare brain space to absorb info when your not actually PF!!

Back to the books

And for the record, what ARE you paying QF for your Sim time? For future reference...
