Estimated time to complete:
- 60 minutes

Aircraft:
- Boeing 737-800

Objectives:
- Boeing 737-800 Line_Check flight

 

You'll take the Boeing 737-800 on a flight just like a real airliner. Flying any aircraft more than 12,500 pounds and any jet aircraft requires a separate type rating on your certificate. Basically, that's a new check-ride-to ATP standards-for every type of jet you're qualified to fly.

This Line_Check flight starts at gate 72 at KLAX. You will go from KLAX to the Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix, Arizona (KPHX). You'll be the pilot flying, and unlike the built-in missions, you have to run the radio in addition to flying and navigating. (If you get a buddy to fly with you in multiplayer mode, you'll be able to do this as a two-pilot crew very realistic!)
