HC Deb 24 May 1995 vol 260 c625W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence to what extent flight simulators are used to train RAF jet pilots as an alternative to flying using terrain-following radar. [25156]

Mr. Soames

Flight simulators are used for initial and continuation procedural training of crews in the use of terrain following radar; simulators are not, however, sufficiently sophisticated at present to provide a realistic alternative to low level flying training.
