But for the sake of any newbies reading this - It is a supplement to having an instructor, not a replacement for an instructor.
I hope I didn't come across as implying the simulator is a repacement for true instructing. It is simply a tool, just like a buddy box. NOTHING can replace the true world real person instruction. These guys might've been able to do figure 8's all day, but when it comes to takeoff/ landing, training is key.
