Bandar Seri Begawan - A Group of students from St George's School had the chance to experience a flight simulator used to train Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) pilots yesterday afternoon at RBA's Training Centre.
The 16 students, who are in secondary four and five, were led by their physics teacher, Mr Aywen. They also had the opportunity to 'pilot' a Boeing 767 airplane.
"The kids will get an idea of how it feels to be a pilot. The simulator provides a host of different conditions, so it will teach pilots to fly iri turbulence, and different emergency scenarios like flying with a failed engine or landing the plane without proper functional landing gear," a spokesperson for RBA told reporters.
"There are a lot of aspects when it comes to flight simulators and what you can learn from added the spokesperson.
According to physics teacher Mr Aywen, not everyone has a chance to fly a plane in their lifetime. "It really inspired me to be a pilot at one time, so now I'm trying to inspire my students to work hard in their physics to," he said.
"Its course related and in computer studies they have a section on flight simulators. Not many know what it is. So today, they can discover how complicated and modern it is while also letting them explore the simulator."
Briefing the students yesterday was RBA's Simulator Manager, Jeffrey Ang, along with other officers from the department.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
