911 take 911

:lol::lol::lol: I just think the labels in many online agruements are pretty funny. That's all.
Why does really matter? There are worse tags. Nobody is ever going to know the truth about what happened Sept. 11. At best, it's all guesswork. The only conspiracy is that between the folks whose butts are on the line for dozing off on watch - after the fact. Who did it? Who knows ... but I have my doubts if they were flight-school wash-outs.
Once in the air I dont think their too hard to fly.
When my mom was instructing and teaching ground school we had what was considered a top of the line simulator at the time and it was a lot harder then the real thing but she never flew jets either.We just had a small piper cherokee.
This wasnt a computer sim either but a big proffessional one the size of an arcade game. My pc flight sim is way harder then that one was.
I also dont know where the transponders are in a big jet but in a light aircraft there usually back by the tail,in a chopper there right on the side of the dash,easily disabled or so the pilot used to say when my leg got too close to it..
Figuring out where you are and how to get to the target at 35 thousand feet isn't flight simulator stuff
You refused the data, the data only goes back 2 hrs and voice data is 30 min. There is no "FLT DECK DOOR" as a parameter, what is the correct listing?
Notice your 'link is an opinion piece that is a reply to the same article I linked to', notice they fail to point out that the door was opened at such and such a time? Why not, certainly more convincing than the argument your links lead to.
MS flight sim is used by pilots all over the world and is as real as it gets,add a set of pro pedals and the rest of the virtual pilot gear and it's not much different.Theres a guy in Australia that did all his training in one and did his solo with no real air experience.I'll see if I still have the link.
The NTSB also utilizes the data from a black box to recreate a flight that crashed on MS sims.
Theres lots of youtube vids out that show this.
Theres hundred of people if not thousands that recreate these flights on MS sim and post them on youtube,lots of them are pilots and if you search some you will see how realistic they are.
Anna here is how anti-jacking systems work. This is not the very same system that would have been in use in 911, it is an example to show how it works. It comes installed from the factory.
The US navy uses MS flight sim to train pilots and you can set turbulance as you desire.
Flight Simulator in Aviation Training
The following links take you to information about how Flight Simulator is being used in a variety of training environments:
- You can learn about how the U.S. Navy uses Flight Simulator at its Microsim Project Web site (if you see a dialog box asking you to accept a certificate, click Yes).
- To read news reports about the Navy’s use of Flight Simulator, see the CNN story and an article in Federal Computing World from 2000.
- The Navy has posted references to several studies of the effectiveness of using PC-based simulations on the Research page of its Microsim site.
- The FlightSafety International Academy uses Flight Simulator in its professional pilot programs.
- "Work, Not Play" (PDF) from the May 2008 edition of Twin & Turbine magazine is my latest feature article about using PC-based simulations in aviation training.
- Wired News published an article, “Sim Soars as Learning Tool,” in October 2003 about the role Flight Simulator can play in flight training.
- "More Than Games for Flying Planes" (.pdf) appeared in the January 2005 issue of Aerospace America, published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
- Microsoft's Games Get Serious, published December 21, 2007 in Business Week, describes Microsoft ESP, a software platform based on Flight Simulator, that "allows corporations to design customized training simulations."
- Transference of PC-Based Simulation to Aviation Training—Issues in Learning (.pdf) is a review of published studies and books from 1997–2007 on the topic by Nic D'Alessandro of Insite Solutions.

AOPA has created a special page for pilots of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Even if you’re not a member of AOPA, you’ll find much useful information and guidance there, including information about the aircraft in Flight Simulator. - If you are a member of AOPA, you’ll find more information about simulators, flight training devices, and PCATDs at the Aviation Subject Report: Flight Training Devices on the AOPA Web site. AOPA members can also read "Putting on Your Game Face," an article in the November 2005 issue of AOPA Pilot.
- The PCATD Safety Advisor (.pdf), available free from AOPA even if you’re not a member, provides excellent (albeit some of it obsolete) background information about training devices based on personal computers.
- For more information about Basic Aviation Training Devices (BATD) and Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATD), see Advisory Circular AC 61-136, "FAA Approval of Basic Aviation Training Devices (BATD) and Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATD)." That AC was issued July 14, 2008, and it supplants AC 61-126, "Qualification and Approval of Personal Computer-Based Aviation Training Devices" and AC 120-45, "Airplane Flight Training Device Qualification."
- An article in AOPA Flight Training magazine discusses the benefits and some limitations of using PC-based simulations.
- Silicon Flyers, another article (available to AOPA members) in AOPA Flight Training magazine includes perspectives from Bruce Landsberg, executive director of the AOPA Air Safety Foundation.
It uses FDR information so it is a mirror of the actual flight, not the whole flight although that is available also from the Gov.
