The challenge earlier offered is to come to Las Vegas and fly a simulator rented...a B767 simulator...and I asked earlier WHO has a B767 sim in LAS?
OK, maybe we would have to meet in Los Angeles, since I assume UA has sims there...or maybe they are all in Denver, or Chicago?
Which B767 Sim is going to be used? Will it have daylight imaging on the screen displays?
Who is going to be the operator of the Sim?
I mean, Capt Lear, you know as well as I, one does not 'rent' a Sim without someone who is employed by the company that owns the Sim being there...it's part of the price...

Thanks, Freaky Animal
Yes, the simulators are categorized by either 'Level' or 'Phase'...I tend to forget which...I just know that I was told I could 'fly' a certain sim, and then get my type rating BECAUSE it is so realistic, the FAA determined it to be satisfactory for their certification purposes. Of course, in the real world, you must fly the real airplane, as I pointed out before, and it is done on a 'live' airline flight. Of course, to be an instructor, you will fly the airplane WITHOUT passengers on board, just to get at least three landings...
My point is, at any PART 121 airline, there is a significant rule book to comply with...that is what the FAA does, that's their job.
I will look up the manufacturer's data on the sims to post later, if possible....
