Chilling, thrilling, stressful: Learn to fly a Boeing 737 in Bangkok
Bangkok's new flight simulator lets wannabe pilots feel what it's like to take off and land one of the world's most popular passenger aircraft (www.cnngo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I hate to be pessimistic, but wouldn't it be a tad too easy for terrorists to learn enough to do another 911-type hijacking? I think that with a few cheap sessions, I could fly enough to keep the plane aimed at where I wanted to go, and I bet the screening of the wannabe's is effectively non-existant.
yeah you're being pessimistic since pretty much such skills can be learned at any flight training center in the world. But that's why we have reinforced cockpit doors...
And in a lot of cases armed pilots. Passengers are the first line of defense once the doors are closed.
Also, remember the pilots have the controls and can make it impossible to move around the cabin.
my first thought Andy YES
What I meant here was that the fee for the session in the simulator is a lot less than the commitment to do a course at a flying school, and a very cheap way to get realistic experience.
