During a sim eval as an applicant, the sim instructor asked about one of my type ratings. Nobody recognizes it, so not surprised. He asked what it was, size, speed, number of engines, and finally if it was retractable. The last one puzzled me. Big four engine airplane, of course it was retractable...why would he be asking something like...oh.
Hint, hint.
All for naught. I'm thick as a brick.
