I thought the sim was the hardest part. Then again, the biggest thing I had flown was a 310, so it was a little ackward. The sim ride is raw data (no flight director) and very strait forward. Prep as much as you can, but I can tell you that ALL you need to do is fly the plane. Dont worry about profiles or anything, as they give you a very good brief beforehand.
Good luck!

when they had you go to a VOR and hold. was it a published entry on the IAP or do they tell you to hold on a radial and to nonstandard/standard turns?

When they gave me my hold, they just pulled something out of their head and gave it to me. If they don't specify what kind of turns (left)... you know, its right turns.

In the group of three of us, I was the only one who had the approach briefed to me by the PNF during the descent on the intercept for the localizer. Whats gonna help you the most in the long run is to just remain calm. I know its hard to say that.. but the folks who get in the sim and stress too much, grip the controls too hard, and forget to take a deep breath once in a while are the ones who end up having the most trouble. Keep your nerves calm.. and have fun with the sim!

cool thanks, it gives me something more to expect. Skyteam18 and Caribpilot, did either of you have glass cockpit experience before you did the sim or did you wing it once you got there?

Nah no loggable glass time, but ive been using WilcoPublications CRJ in Flight Sim 2004 for years now. So i already was familiar with the pfd and how it worked.
