Video of me landing a 757(Level D full motion sim)

Well the motion was turned off because of the lawyers but I swear it seamed like you were moving, I-max theater effect. Can't wait til I'm doing this for an airline!

[Murdoughnut]

Awesome! How'd you manage to swing that?

[BillH]

Alteon(Boeing) bent over backwards for AMSA, Aviation Management Students Association(ATC club at school) at my school which is Miami Dade College. I was surprised how gracious they were, very professional people over there in Miami. I freaking loved it. It was advertising for them, perhaps convince some of us to be pilots. I didn't need any convincing, although it did convince me that General Aviation alone wouldn't be enough for me

Just like LGB!

Pretty sweet bro. I'm actually really jealous. I've taken the Alteon tour in LGB and they didn't have the 75/76, 777 sims there.

We had full motion in the level D's and we flew the 717, 737-200 and MD-11 sims. 717 and 737 sims were my fave. They flew like a 172. i.e. had a very easy "stick & rudder" feel about them.

I've heard the 757 is the same way.

Sweet man!!

But what's up with the whole no motion cuz of lawyer thing?

Yes it does, I had to use trim to relieve pressure on the yoke, I will even go as far as to say that the 757 is MUCH easier to fly, everything about it is easier than a c172.

The instructors at Alteon were just as bummed as we were with the no full motion. They said that some one could fall down, liability issues...
He showed us a CAT IIIB landings in the 757 lvl D, motion would of been helpful there.

I tell you, those sims beat the crap out of any amusement park ride I've ever been on.

You overflared and flared a little high, so you floated a bit. Nice job keeping on speed and keeping on the FD. Triming and small pitch and trust adjustments are the key.

I wouldn't say flying a 757 is easier than a 172. Having flown both in real life, I think a 172 is far easier in many ways.

[Doug Taylor]

But don't trim with the autopilot on!

T-12 days!

[DE727UPS]

I remember on F/O IOE trying to figure out why the autopilot kept kicking off....

Ah you have my dream job, flying a 757 for UPS, can't wait until I have that opportunity!
Yeh I over flared and too high, but touchdown was smoooooooooth

I thought the 'no trim w/ap on' was kind of strange myself. The -88/90 requires a little trim to make sure it flew straight and the -200 did too.

Nifty!
