There is no questions about it - no one, regardless of what occupation they are in, actually knows how they are going to react to a stressful situation in their job until they actually encounter it. Most people, however, don't make their discovery at 10,000 plus feet, where a wrong decision can result in a nose-dive that creates a fireball when they come to a sudden stop! That, of course, is why FLIGHT SAFETY, SIMULATORS AND KING AIR 200 TRAINING is such an important issue.

"There are, of course, a number of advantages to using a simulator for training," Jason Wolcott, Vice President of TURBINE TRAINING in Manhattan, Kansas, shared. "Which explains," he went on with a smile in his voice, "why we utilize them here at TURBINE TRAINING."

Those advantages include, but are not limited to:

  • Simulators do, in fact, produce stress levels similar to an actual event.
  • Simulators train pilots how to recover from "upset conditions," such as stalls.
  • Today's Simulators are sophisticated to the point that they can "reproduce" aircraft sounds and movements.
  • The cost factor is most advantageous, especially with the upward spiral of fuel prices.

"I have heard," Dale Wolcott, TURBINE TRAINING President, offered with a somewhat philosophical tone, "that some individual's Simulator training gets so intense that they actually break out in a sweat!"

The extensiveness of the Simulator's training is noted when one considers that they can "recreate" how an aircraft might behave should a motor quit, as well as show what systems would be affected and how cockpit indicators would react.

"We appreciate the fact," Jason added, " that we can give experience for events that might happen in a simulator that would just be too dangerous to try to recreate while in an actual aircraft in the air."
