First F35 home grown pilots take off

[bob10]

Both experienced pilots, how will they go with less experienced men, considering we don't have a two man version of the F35 ? Is a simulator sufficient training for an inexperienced pilot? Or do I have it wrong.

The Sims are very, very good. They should not have any problems converting to type.

The majority of risky manoeuvres and training in both civil and military aircraft are done in the simulator. And that’s a good thing.
The fidelity and realism is literally astounding.
My last 2 type ratings were all done in the sim. First flight in the aeroplane is carrying fare paying passengers on scheduled services.
