Are you an aero engineering student, pilot, or serious Microsoft flight simulator user? Want to learn how transport aircraft systems and automation work ? Boeing's Commercial Airplane Group, the MIT Aero/Astro Department and the Microsoft Project I-Campus Flight Simulation Lab are teaming to offer a three-day introduction to Boeing 767 systems and automation, taught from the flight deck perspective. Corresponds to familiarization courses taken by Boeing engineers and pilot trainees. Advance registration and manual reading required. Three days of classroom systems lectures and discussion, followed by afternoon (3-5 PM) and evening (6-8 PM) lab practice sessions using a B767 desktop flight simulator, working in pairs. Topics include guidance and navigation, autopilot, flight management, caution & warning systems, propulsion, APU, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and pressurization systems, normal and abnormal procedures. You don’t have to be a real world pilot, but everyone must demonstrate basic Flight Simulator 2000 instrument flying skills in order to register. Contact simulation lab teaching assistant, Franck Billarant, come to the sim lab, fly FS2000 ATP Lesson 4: Full ILS Approach, 737-400 in order register.
