[flyinzacko]

Is this your first Sim session? Come on man, you don't know shit! How about at least trying to stay on the C/L?

@dukeyzzz hi, i have a question, why do airline pilots use their laptop when they are planning the route of the flight??...what is the name of the program they use in their laptop to see app charts, notams, etc?

GREAT VIDEO !!!! THANKS FOR POSTING :-)

[EAPENJJ]

Did you guys set your transponder to TA/RA before takeoff? Looks like the only thing you missed on the before take off checklist!

Any pilots on here can tell me what the "Cost Index" input is for in the FMC?

[lucasguillen]

@eclipse245 it depends on the airliner



[eclipse245]

@lucasguillen I know...but what does it represent?

[lucasguillen]

@eclipse245 Cost Index = fuel to / speed to

the airline make some difficult calculations and decide that

[eclipse245]

@lucasguillen ahh okay. Thanks

You are not supposed to put your hands off the throttles before V1, aren't you ?

[dukeyzzz]

exactly and that's what i got a reminder check for. A bit of a trouble when you go from right to left, you're used to having your left hand on the throttles.

the pilot on the right was the pilot i flew with at the Gold Coast Q1 737 Simulation

[dukeyzzz]

QF073, yep, that's Capt. John Kirkman, Check Pilot and we did the SIMs together.
