Sebastien 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 Today was a great day. I woke around 6.45, went to shcool, had boring clases. But th afternoon was different. I was going to the MAS training dept to fly in a SIMULATOR! for an hour. Hoping i could have either the 333, or the 734, i was excited. This was a very first for me. The day before, i revised my FMC knoledge with FS, and so i felt prepared to kick a$$. When i got there, I met a nice person from the external relations dept, which brought me to the training center and presented me to a person in charge of the maintenance of these machines. I'm from the french school. The rest of the story is coming, but first soem suspense and somee comments! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 French School? They're a group of them in the Proton Factory in Shah Alam today morning. I was with them over there. How did you manage to get in? Is it a tour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastien 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 No, not tour. the ones that got to PRoton were 6th graders. It was a private thing that the school made possible. I want to know if any of you know the staff involved in this, i couldn't get their names, so please, thouse from MAS, help. I did the simulator because i wanted to try it. Just a hint to guess the simulator i used: I don't like the 777 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastien 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) So, i went inside the bilding, and they explained how training was done. Then, it was the time to go into a smulator... Fist, it's huge, big, massive. it's imprssive! So, i went to a simulator... of the 777. Edited June 23, 2006 by Sebastien Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastien 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2006 inside, it was more than surprising. it was like being on an actual 777. It was show-off time. After i programmed the FMC for WMKK WMSA, i piloted manual this short flight, becuase they turned the A/p off... It went all nice, except for landing. After three turn-arounds, i crashed the plane in an attemp to land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin Yii 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2006 wow..what CRZ attitude u fly on and weight? fuel calculation? and vref speed on landing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastien 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2006 look, after 5 minutes, the guy said i was really good with A/P so he turned it off, i flew manual a 777, which is hard. This was a special thing done by my school, and it took six months to be able to do one afternoon. I hope to do it again, if you know anybode from the simulator maintenace dept or the external relations of MAS please help me to find the people i met that day!

Sebastien 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2006 look, do you think there is time to do cruise between WMKK and WMSA? I completely ruined the company as i crashed the plane on landing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted June 30, 2006 look, do you think there is time to do cruise between WMKK and WMSA? I completely ruined the company as i crashed the plane on landing... nvm, but more importantly... what happens in the simulator when you crash.. is it like FS? does it make that crash sound and you sink into the ground (albeit in one piece).. can you watch external replay?? hahaha but seriously lah, what happen!?

Sebastien 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2006 it was a loud chrash sound, like it you threw glasses on the floor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) LOL, when I saw "the first time", I thought you meant by.......sex.... Anyway, does the simulator vibrate or shake really hard as you crash? Edited July 1, 2006 by S V Choong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastien 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) hell yeah! you even feel the speed at take-off! it's scary!!! Though you seem a little... pervert..... lol, half of the guys in my class are the same Edited July 3, 2006 by Sebastien Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 1 Report post Posted July 4, 2006 Anyway, does the simulator vibrate or shake really hard as you crash? It does, which is why most simulator instructors will cut it off when you're milliseconds from crashing. Sebastian probably has been lucky to have "experienced" it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastien 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2006 Well, my crash was just a very hard landing, i jumped a bit, and heard the sound i described. I want to do it again!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
