CRJ Question 700 vs 200
In regards to the CRJ 700 vs CRJ 200, is the cockpit the same (like the 757/767 & A-319/A320)? Simple question, but I don't know the answer, going to be practicing alot on Microsoft Flight Sim........and wondering if the cockpit lay out is the same/similar......
Thanks for your reply!

For the most part, yes. The 700 has more automation and slightly different systems in some cases, so it has fewer switches. Differences in the bleed air and ignition panels come to mind.
However, the MSFS version is lame. It looks mostly like the real thing, but the functionality is way off. And it doesn't handle right. The real airplane is more responsive. Do yourself a favor and don't put too much stock in the FS representation.

I'm just using it for sim practice, as I know some of the regionals require you to do a sim ride......figure it won't hurt to have a "basic" idea of what the cockpit looks like.....Thanks for your answer!!!!

It's good that you're looking ahead, but when you do a sim ride on an interview they're not looking for you to know anything about the a/c you're flying - they're looking to see that you can take the yoke in one hand, the throttle in the other, and maintain altitude, turn/climb/descend, properly enter and execute a hold, and maybe shoot an ILS. So anything that's simulating IFR will do, they type of aircraft is really irrelevant. More than likely the sim on your interview won't be what the company flies anyway. Good luck with your interviews!

while prob not adviseable from a safety standpoint, you could go out and shoot no flap approaches in a twin at cruise speed???
There is also a community of geeky dudes out there who build their own full motion sims out of used aircraft parts, x-plane, and stuff from radio shack. Just google search it.

While we're on this kick of interviews/sim, for those of us who have never flown a motion sim before, do any of you experienced guys have any advice on preparing for the sim eval (other than the obvious 'know how to shoot an ILS')? Are there any techniques that make the sim more manageable to "fly"?

If you want, from what I hear (never flew a CRJ) you can spend a few buck and get a simulation thats more close to the real thing.
