A Full-Motion Simulator for Your Living Room?

I flew for TWA for 29 years and watched the evolution of flight training form pulling engines on B707s, etc to getting a type rating in a simulator. TWA lost a B707 pulling engines at Atlantic City, killing all 9 pilots on board. That cost so much in lost lives and dollars that it was the end of that type of training in a real aircraft, from then on that training was done in simulators. You really can learn to fly flying simulators if they would ever set them up for that purpose. Most simulators are set up to do instrument training and instrument check rides. The FAA demands that these simulators be set to be very difficult to fly or they wont certify them. The inspectors actually come around and fly them and demand that they meet a ridiculous standard of difficulty which leaves them so twitchy that only the sim instructors can fly them. [If you look in your flight kit the aircraft goes in there right behind you]. The rest of us look forward to recurrent training with dread, just grit our teeth and sweat through the ordeal. When I got my type rating in the L1011, my first flight in the aircraft was as a fully qualified pilot, with passengers and an instructor captain. I was pleasantly surprised at what a wonderful pilot's aircraft the L1011 is. It was and is one of my favorite aircraft. If a person can afford a $400,000 Wichita wounder they might think a $57,000 training device would be feasible.
