Cheers,
They are not checking if you can fly a 747-?. They are checking to see if you can fly. Raw data. Dirty side down, shinny side up. Can you fly a departure, enter a hold, fly an approach? Turn off the flight director and auto pilot on your current aircraft and you will be getting all the practice you need. No need to spend a ton of money on a 747 simulator.
