It is much cheaper (and safer) to let a fledgling pilot crash in a simulator than to crash a real plane while learning the nuances of flight.
Mainly the feedback (or lack of it) are not the same is in flight and that you know you are in a simulator; no one knows exactly what they will do when in an actual emergency.
The most eco - friendly train is the one that do not contribute pollution to the environment. A train runs by electricity is one.
Trains, in the past and still today, often carry cargo. Things like coal or granite may be transported on a train rather than on a plane because of the amount of space they take up and because of their weight. Trains also can carry passengers, such as the underground train known as the subway in new york and several other forms of trains throughout the world.
The train could carry lot of material because of the less rolling resistance compare to an automobile. Rolling resistance for the Rail road is about 0.0002 to 0.0010. Rolling resistance for the CAR on the road is 0.010 to 0.015. so a train can carry 15 to 50 times more load than automobile. General cargo trains will be the pull load about 10,000 to 15,000 tonnes.
They will be the same distance from New York.
Flight simulators are used to train new pilots because it is safest and cheapest. It allows students to learn from small and big mistakes, and to experience emergency situations without killing anyone.
The flight simulators of WW2 were very basic simulators that helped a student get the feel of flying. Some were used to teach pilots to operate at night to see if they would get disoriented. There were no combat simulators at all.The principal pilot trainer used during World War II was the Link Trainer. Some 10,000 were produced to train new pilots of allied nations, many in the USA and Canada because many pilots were trained in those countries before returning to Europe or the Pacific to fly combat missions.
pilots train by first going through tough theory first then they go through flight simulation and get a feel for what there going to be flying and then the take a plane with an instructor and go for a fly :)

A flight-simulator.
A flight-simulator.
1) the invaluable flight hours without the cost of fuel and flight maintenance 2) simulation of life threatening situations (no power landings, stuck gear) without the actual loss of life 3) familiarization for new prospective pilots
The Navy has helicopters and employs pilots to fly them. And they even train you to do it.

Well the real "state of the art" element of simulated pilot training is really in the physical components. It is one thing to have great software that simulates the best graphics but the real kicker is when pilots are put in mock cockpits with all the same controls that they would find in an actual airplane. You see using a mouse and keyboard to train pilots to fly just wouldn't cut it, so in simulations, pilots control a virtual plane from a mock cockpit that moves and responds to their input from real controls.
