In Aircraft Training vs Sim
#21
I was giving a checkride in a recip Convair a long time ago. Pulled an engine back right after rotation and we were slowly climbing out. Then we got an augmentor overheat warning. Switched from one fake emergency to real one at about 500 feet.

The Navy 707's (E6-B) had MONTHLY currency of 6 approaches and 10 landings! Every month! Since they don't haul anything but crew, that's a lot of approaches and landings to log across like 100+ pilots.....monthly! All while waiting for WWIII

I just did a full type rating in a level C sim, it's not a sim level issue.

Pattern work is still a requirement in some MPL programs across the pond…. They take a handful of cadets up with a training captain and cycle through doing their bounces before they get to a flight deck with paying passengers behind them.

Not just MPL. Most type ratings outside the USA are not ZFT.

Pattern work is much cheaper in a 777 than the 380...
