I had half a day off work yesterday to take up a birthday present from my lovely wife - a 30 minute session in an airliner flight simulator at iPilot at the Westfield Shopping Centre.The simulator was for a Boeing 737-800 with electronic instruments. I did one take-off from Heathrow, a landing at Heathrow 27-R and a landing at Gatwick 26-L.The experience was quite a good reminder of my flying weaknesses - heavy handed and not leaving enough time for the aircraft to react. This was much more obvious when flying a big plane. I'd love to go again, but it's almost as expensive as a light aircraft lesson!
