If you already have experience in an air frame type, then
you can begin directly flying with the corresponding aircraft
type. The important requirement is that you know your
aircraft and are fully in control of it. A VOR DME or NDB
approach, trouble-free handling of a “go-around” or flying a
simple “holding” are also part of a good knowledge of the
aircraft in question.
Literally, each one is the „Captain“ of his own aircraft ; and is
responsible for his flight from A to B, beginning with the
professional flight planning until the final landing, as well as
the correct decorum towards other FS pilots and the ATC.
FMC should also be a concept known to you, as well as its
programming!
The pilot hierarchy is as follows:
First Officer:
10 Short haul Europe flights
Senior First Officer:
Middle range flights
Captain:
All routes
