The heart of the B-2 system is its simulators. The CPT provides a basic feel for where switches are in the aircraft and what they do. This training is supplemented by classroom instruction. If a student throws a switch incorrectly, the system freezes. This prevents inadvertent learning of any improper procedure.
Pilots learn procedures for both normal and emergency situations.
The MT is really a miniature WST, dealing only with the mission commander's right seat. Colonel Imondi said the B-2 is easy to fly. It's very well engineered. . . . Major Vanderburgh has logged thousands of hours on the B-52. The WST's combination of hydraulically activated motion and high-fidelity images gives pilots something approaching the actual feeling of flight.
