Visited Ari-Ben yesterday. Got a chance to fly the CRJ-200 flight simulator. We stayed in the pattern around the airport. Man, that was blast!
I had no clue as just how sensitive the flight controls are. The instructor said that they try to make it as realistic as possible in terms of the settings from the mainframe computer. Had some problems leveling my wings on approach and overshot the touchdown markers but all in all it was pretty cool. Based on what he said about the config of the instrumentation between the 200,700 & the 900, the 900 is easier to fly. If ever given the opportunity and the choice, I'd take the 900 any day.
