Need DC-9-30 information

I admit I am not the most adept with the sim terms but this is the one we are going to I think

Thanks. I would have guessed if one existed, it would be in one of those two places.

DC-9 SIM trick for your uncle

Set the radio Altimeter to 100'
fly ref + 5
when the little amber light comes on by the Baro altimeter,
count to 4 by 1000s, example one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two,
on the fourth count, pull the throttles and the yoke back at the same rate and the sim will roll right on.

Say to your uncle,"If I roll it on the first time, you buy the steaks?"

Of course, you should be buying for the opportunity regardless.

Have fun.

PS: STL FSI has 2 DC9 sims, a level B for the miltary C-9 and a level C.

Ask your uncle then, I'm sure he's familiar with the DC-9 numbers and procedures.

This is the key. I'm sure your uncle will be able to tell you everything you'd need for the purposes of a sim visit even though he hasn't flown for a while.

Flying the -9 is like putting on your favorite pair of old slippers. He will remember. Have fun.

When do we eat?

Seriously have fun with it....

I dont think he can spill out all of the information I would like to know (anymore at least, he has been spending time flying a "desk" for about 2 years now )

Been flying a desk lately? GOOD! Tell him to stay there, and never leave the office. Lousy Federales.

OK...I get it.

Those who can't, REGULATE!

Dont start with that please He definitely "can". And he definitely "Did". He just would rather stay home with his daughter than spend his life on the road

ABX's DC-9 sim is a level C even though it has level D visuals. ABX as usual was too cheap to spend the extra bucks to get the motion and other fidelity areas to level D standards. The only level D sim for a DC-9 that I know of is at NATCO in MSP.
