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.

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.

Don't worry if you are an airbus fan. There is a super video on youtube on how to steal an A320 "Airbus A320 - From Cold and Dark to Ready for Taxiing"

Pete is you'll remember, the scumbags from 9/11 used Microsoft Flight Simulator as a learning aid.

I seem to remember that the terrorists went to flight schools, and one comment from an instructor was that they 'only wanted to know how to fly straight and level'

I've been in one of these in Australia, they said that they do simulations with current pilots with Qantas and Virgin, however, I could not log any hours or instructional time, it wasn't a designated simulator. To be honest, the flight decks are a little more fancy than a Cessna, but the way I remember the principle is about the same as a small airplane. Takeoff was easy, staying level required you to be on top of the trim and have a feel of the plane, approach was the hardest, that's the main difference, you can easily get behind the airplane, it was hard to slow the plane down for the approach, not sure if that's true in real life. Landing itself with practice, you can get it if you re good at video games. This was VFR of course. You learn the basics at a flight school and with a GPS.

yeah then all terrorists would have to do would get into an ATC center and press that button instead of going thru the trouble of airport security and breaking thru a reinforced cockpit door

I would not want the public Neanderthal paws on my hardware. Let em book a lesson on a C152 like we all did. This is like one of those Japanese love dolls..ersatz.
