BAC1-11 Simulator Cranebank
 

Just to complete BA's recent spate of poor behaviour with regard to seasoned a/c they are now about to rip out the BAC1-11 simulator at CBK. The last regular users, the Oman Air Force, have not been forthcoming with any usage during the last couple of years.

VERY SAD :{ I wish I could adopt her :( ... May the OLD LADY RIP...

Mmmm.......just one step up from valves, relays and model houses on conveyor belts. How sad.:{

I hope they have offered it to someone who'll give it a good home.

no probably in the trash..no one cares about history or nostagia nowadays :mad: ...hey i'm sure it beats those dumb computer sims hands down...:ugh:

would love to have it in my living room...instead of tv can practice hand flying a good noise abatement procedure :D or try some oei climbs oh the fun i would have :ok: ..may be a deep stall...just once see if that stick pusher really works:} :} :\

What will BA use next for selection?
:uhoh:

The rack I should imagine.

The only replacement will be one of the EFIS equipped sims!!!

From this summer BA will be using a B747-400 fixed base sim. This has no motion or visual system and EFIS displays will be switched to NAV so no map display.

I will miss the 1-11. I had both BACX and BA sim checks in it. My father had his sim check in it, and MY GRANDFATHER did his in it as well!!!! :eek:

I don't understand HZ123's problem here.

If there is no demand for the 111 sim and it costs BA to maintain it why shouldn't they get rid off it. There is still a 111 sim at Bournemouth.

Doesn't work though! :p

It belongs to European Aviation just got to put money in like the rides.

Oh no! When I wanted to use it, it was so new that I had to do my training in the real airplane.:hmm:
