Simulator lets new pilots get closer to real thing

Gerald Skocdopole, chief 737 pilot for Canadian North, flies a new, state-of-the-art Boeing 737NG full-flight simulator in Edmonton on Wednesday.

The simulator's cabin is mounted on hydraulic posts, so the nose actually pointed down and the scene outside the windows was so detailed that waves on the lake were visible.
