Hey Guys-

I'm at FlightSafety in LGB. Can't write long cuz I got my arse kicked in the sim today doing V1 cuts so I'm arm chair flying over 100 times per approach times six approach profiles ='s over 600 approaches to arm chair fly.

Anyways, typical day is tough. We're briefing at 8am till 10am, 10 to 12 I fly then 12 to 2 my sim partner flies. We get everything from Aborted takeoffs, to rejected landings just 25 to 40 feet above the runway, to engine failure after V1 climb out complete ALL checklists, turn around and come back shooting an approach (ILS/VOR/NDB) in 100OVC and 1/2 VIS. ITS TOUGH!!!!! if you slack off for one day, it shows. we're 60% through sim training and our final checkride in the sim is Friday. We went to Fresno and did FTD for 3 days last week and that went well. I've been taking a ton of photos for you guys and will post them when I have time and any one is nice enough to volunteer to host them. Until then......................wish me luck!

Dude, stop by Alteon, I am about 5 minutes away from Flight Safety International, will give you a tour of the 717, MD11 simulators/
 
Something that really helped me on jet sim V1 cuts was to "stay outside" as long as possible. Use the rudder to point the nose down the runway centerline using visual reference as long as you can. Don't come inside until you lose the runway centerline looking outside.
 
let us know when your ready to upload the photos. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Dude, you are working way to hard. It's not that difficult. Chill out, relax. You'll feel much better for your ride if you don't get worked up tight about the profiles and stuff.

Good advice. Also, if you can with runway length and climb considerations (obstacle clearance), delay rotation until you know you have the airplane under control. Helps quite a bit, even with 6/6/6 takeoffs, to have a centerline and outside viewing to maintain directional control.
