Testing our capabilities in the PA28 Sim

Today we both decided to rent a fully certified CAA simulator of the actual aircraft, a piper PA28.

We decided to test ourselves in the following, coming up with a proper brief and lesson plan, as the professionals do:

- Forced landings with no power
- Flight in Instrument Meteorological Conditions
- Water ditching
- Partial engine failures
- Working as a crew with the engine failure, checklists etc

Here's a couple of photos of us in action




Tom - in IMC




Mike - coming into land with a rough running engine, not sure why he's smiling!
