Aer Lingus simulators?

[niallcooney]

Guys,

Anyone got any detail about Aer Lingus's sims? What kind? Rates? Open access? They don't exactly shout out their availability! All info appreciated!

Give Aerial a call in Weston (6282930), they might even throw in a Ryanair instructor for around 200 Euros per hour on the 737.

Mutt, I am forever in your debt. Is that 200 *including* the instructor?

[mutt]

Not sure, but a lot of the Ryanair guys will do it for free, or at least for a beer or two.

Errrmmm... mainly training and a bit of fun. I want to see whether I can handle a big jet and whether I like it or not (enough to do it for a career). I've done a lot of home-based study on the 737-400 and the A320, and I want to see whether the knowledge I have is accurate and useful, and most of all, do I have the capabilty. The main things I want to try are general handling, ILS approaches, engine outs, stall recoveries, takeoff, etc. I'm not too worried about the FMS etc, I can learn that at a later stage (well I'm in the middle of it not)

PS: Aerial don't do 737 training unfortunately, just called them. They just use a generic IFR trainer.

Silky,

I believe the B737 is a 300/400/500
