mmerelles Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Been on the Panam academy for a 737 training session. Landing the 737800NG, weather set to 200 ft overcast and the instructor put a surprise. An aircraft pulling into the runway and required to jump over and land. A LOT OF FUN. Those simulators feels like the real thing. AMAZING No A/P, A/T used, full manual approach down to the runway ILS 04R JFK Hope you like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was in a full motion 738NG sim (SAS Flight Academy at Gardermoen) was in 2006.. So it would be fun to try it again. If I remember correct we payed 300NOK (about $36) for every 6th minute Edited July 3, 2017 by Tom Stian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correct we payed 300NOK (about $36) for every 6th minute These simulators are pretty amazing stuff they feel so real. I payed USD 800 for 1hs which includes 30 minutes briefing. 01:30 total. The 737800NG is one of the the most expensive they have, they sayd it is based on latest AIR technology for motion which is smoother. Cost 17 us million They have 6 certified full motion sims -737-300CL (i wasn't aware before reaching their facilities, otherwise i will have tried this one for sure) -737-800NG -757-200 -787-800 dreamliner -MD82 -MD88 They do train/certify pilots from all around the globe and use the sims free time to schedule common people.

Tom Stian Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yeah.. a 737-300 would be awesome to try in a full motion simulator. I feel "pretty" confident with the ixeg 733, but im sure I would sweat a bit in a real 733 sim Had to look at some old pictures from 2006.
