I flew bank checks for 10 months. Crossing the cascades 2 times a day, 5 days a week. Honestly, it was still hard for me to transition in the sim. |

i agree with being "teamy" with your sim partner, if you've got a captain upgrade in the left seat learn as much as you can from him, if you've got another new hire, then you guys should be learning as a team. If both of you come from a CFI background that should help, as you'll know how to give each other pointers, or other advise, and hopefully you'll both know how to take advise as well. You're instructor is there to teach you how to fly "THE" plane, but not how to fly "A" plane, so be brushed up on your instrument procedures, i'd use microsoft flight sim, i bought the ERJ PIC program for mine, worked nice for getting a scan. But don't be expecting to land the sim because you can land your flight simulator, as they're two different things, same with the sim and the airplane. If you are going to use MSFS, all weather is at minimums, all approaches are to minimums, or to a missed, etc.
But everyone else is definitely right about knowing your flows/profiles before you hit that sim box, and have a good idea of how to use the automation to fly the airplane. |
I had a sim partner when I went through that wasn't very helpful. It really made things hard. I will say what others have said, get a good partner who you get along with and will help you.
Also, know flows and memory items cold. I practiced them while having the TV and the radio on in the background. Try to get distracted as you can and know them well enough to be able to get through them easily. Practice flying approaches on flight sim with the fastest plane you can find. The flying isn't realistic, but teaching your brain to do IFR quickly will help. Have someone give you holds, change runways, and other stuff to keep you thinking so aren't prepaired and so that you get supprised. |
Since the new trend is bumping old threads, i figured I would ask, anyone else have any hints?

Omg who mentioned Ram Air Freight, yep date checks.

There’s really not much else to tell. I’ve been through numerous 121 events at different airlines. I’ve never seen anyone fail because they didn’t know the KVA rating of a generator. I have however seen people struggle because they didn’t have flows and/or call outs down cold with their sim partner.

If your basic instrument skills are rusty, MS FS is the cheapest solution. May as well pick a turbojet aircraft with a PFD. Just stick to the IFR basics...don't waste time worrying about systems.
The flows and profiles are critical. If you can juggle tennis balls, or bounce one off a wall while reciting profiles you should be good. |
