Until you get to actually fly it for real, you read the manuals a few times over, do countless hours in the simulator and so on.
Those 50 hours can be misleading as to his experience with the aircraft.
- dotancohen 2y agoA stimulator comfortably positioned at FL000 is much more amenable to troubleshooting multiple electrical failures than a tin can balancing on computer-controlled thrust differentiating, 1900 feet in the air well below stall speed.
- ExoticPearTree 2y agoYou are missing the point. Incidents do happen, but you just don't get to fly a fighter jet until you proved in a simulator that you are capable of flying it and troubleshooting it. What the simulator does is to see if you can be entrusted with the aircraft.
- dotancohen 2y agoYes, but decades of experience have shown that pilots are far braver and willing to risk their skin in a simulator than they are in the air. And for good reason.
