just back from an hour in the flight simulator at Atlantic Airventure at Shannon Very interesting experience doing approaches to runway 24 at Shannon and realising how complex it is to line up a 60 tonne aircraft in a cross wind and jockey speed height heading and sink rate in order to defy the laws of Newton and reach the... more

This was a great experience, more real than expected! A challenge requiring lots of concentration, watching dials - gives an idea of how much pilots have to do and I wasn't even talking with ATC!
