Here you go 😄

There is usually another pilot also being checked in the other seat and the instructor/examiner sat behind in the control chair running things.

Good point! Well made! Rectified! 😂

If @profbriancox.bsky.social can get us both seats on something going to the ISS I’d be more than happy to accompany him 😄

No! We fly complicated aircraft and the instructors dream up real world scenarios which could easily happen and the weather is something that always varies, even in the simulator. It is always possible to have a combination of problems which gives an almost endless variety of possibilities 😄

(Anyone would think @profbriancox.bsky.social is busy!! 😄😉)

They did! But you did need a roll of film in the camera rather than computer memory! 😂

Great question! (Although I know you know the answer already!). The skills required have changed quite a bit but the basics are still the same. The 737-200 felt like driving an old, classic car whereas the A350 is like driving a Tesla in comparison. Both lots of fun but the 737-200 made me smile😄

I remember all those! 😄

Hi! Seems a bit more peaceful over here! 😄

Typo!! Thanks for letting me know. I originally had it down as Airbus A350 but ran out of characters! Didn’t delete enough of the Airbus word! 🙈
