AUTHENTIC SCIENCE FICTION any form of trouble imagined _by the instructor. In normal flight the simula- tor matches the aircraft in performance and speeds. It climbs as fast, flies at the same speeds, and reacts to control pressures just the same as the plane. Thrust and drag are realistically presented, as are altitude effects and fuel consumption rates. For oversight or lack of ability the pilot pays a penalty in the simulator just as he would in the air. There is high and low speed buffeting, indicated through actual movement of the seat and stick. The normal flight pat- tern is further upset when fuel distribution becomes un- balanced or there is a shift in the centre of gravity. For training in emergency flight procedures the simulator is better adapted than the plane.
