Today, I got the opportunity to spend the afternoon in a CRJ (Canadair Regional Jet) simulator in the Advanced Simulation Training Building in Embry Riddle.
I spent all the afternoon, 4 hours, there. That was really great. The students got through two complete flights. The first landing was a VOR-DME in New York JFK with a go-around (the MDA was 860ft for this VOR-DME procedure, and at the minimas they couldn't see the runway), followed by a ILS (the MDA was 230ft for the ILS, so they could see the runway and land).
The second session, after a short break, was similar, but with a ILS approach with a go-around again due to a landing gear failure this time. They made a pattern, cranked the gear down manually and landed with the same ILS procedure...
That was a neat afternoon !
