Hi All,
I was curious about the simulators that are used when interviewing. I have very little time in a sim -- the PCATD variety. When I flew it I found it very sensitive. It was very easy to induce pilot oscillation. The trim was also a little weird. I trimmed the pressure out, but then instead of the yoke staying at that position, I had to let go and let it center.
Are the simulators for the interview this way or do they have real instruments (instead of on a computer screen) like the pictures of the frasca?
Do they fly more like small ga aircraft or are they really sensitive? Should I spend more time in the PCATD or try to find a frasca or other sort to help get the hang of it before reaching the stage to go to an interview?
Thanks everybody in advance.
