Could a flight simmer take off with a real 737 ?

[vololiberista 205]

That's a horrible thing to say.

It may be, I'm sorry to say, but chucking a hanglider around on a desk top sim is totally different to the real thing. Absolutely!!

 

The majority of accidents in the hangliding/paragliding world are caused by inexperience and untested second  hand equipment.

I see exaggerations in pretty much the whole topic.

 

No one has the skill or the knowledge to face advanced situations like a real pilot, that's obvious.

 

But doing more simple things on a 737 like taking off in perfect weather conditions, activating the autopilot with lnav and vnav and so on, avoiding stalling the plane (which shoudn't happen anyway provided the engines works like they should, there is no malfunction and you have the right pitch) shoudn't really be so much of a big deal no?

 

 

And  the whole thing about the glider was sarcasm ofc.

Which again proves that a blindfolded, trained monkey could do this, so there is no point to any of this.

Umm. I think you might have missed the joke  :huh:

I have an excellent parachute for sale. Used only once and has a few red stains on it, but in perfect condition. You might need it for your paragliding. :ph34r:

Didnt we just suffer through at least 10 pages a week ago on this same subject? With pretty much the same replies?

We'll probably get another thread in a few days.

Could an IBM software engineer de-bug FSX?

My flight instructor use to say "Even my grandma can take off a plane, but who will land it with only her at the command" and I think he is right, you can take off with little or no problems, but will you be able to land it?

 

From my experience "not much", I've flown and I fly only ultralights, the simulator doesn't offer any feedback from the movement of a plane. In real life you can feel the plane, even the slightest movement, and you can correct it, not in a sim!!!

.... and here are more Greatest Lies in Aviation:

 ----------------------------------

 I’m from the FAA and I’m here to help you.

 Me? I’ve never busted minimums.

 Pardon me, ma’am, I seem to have lost my jet keys.

 I have no interest in flying for the airlines.

 I fixed it right the first time, it must have failed for other reasons.

 All that turbulence spoiled my landing.

 I only need glasses for reading.

 I broke out right at minimums.

 Don’t worry about the weight and balance — it’ll fly.

 If we get a little lower I think we’ll see the lights.

 I’d love to have a woman co-pilot.

 All you have to do is follow the book.

 This plane outperforms the book by 20 percent.

 We in aviation are overpaid, under worked and well respected.

 I have 5000 hours total time, 3200 are actual instrument.

 Sure I can fly it — it has wings, doesn’t it?

 We’ll be home by lunchtime.

 I’m always glad to see the FAA.

 It just came out of annual — how could anything be wrong?

 I thought YOU took care of that.

 I’m SURE the gear was down.

 I’ve got the field in sight.

 I’ve got the traffic in sight.

 Of course I know where we are.
