For each of the two tables below, tick the most accurate statement referring to the use of simulation in pilot training. ✓ The running and maintenance costs of a flight simulator are far greater than those of an actual aircraft Dangerous situations can be simulated without putting the trainee pilot's life at risk It is more difficult to simulate adverse weather conditions in a flight simulator The level of noise in a flight simulator is far louder than in an aircraft ✓ The pilot has to be able to use spreadsheet software efficiently There is no limit to how many ‘g’ a simulator can subject a pilot to, and for how long The simulator response will always be exactly the same as an actual aeroplane, as there are so few variables Sometimes pilots become overconfident after training on the simulator
