Last day in the sim today, at least until after the CPL. I'm now finding that most of the procedures and maneuvers are now fairly straightforward if the 'wind' is generated by a computer and the air is completely smooth (because we are flying along at an altitude of about 3 feet, in a small room).
So the sim has served its purpose. Like many professions and walks of life, an artificial environment is useful up to a point, but there's nothing quite like the real thing (ask my wife, who is a midwife, whether stitching a chicken leg is the same as suturing a woman who has just given birth!)
So now its time to put everything together in some 'test profiles', i.e. mock exam flights. I hope you're not still thinking about the chicken.
