Marty? thats for you. >> im sorry. mitchell. we do stuff in here. part of it brought on by me. i say, how about such as flying through the himalaya mountains at 5,000 feet, nothing you would ever try with a 777. but there is some fun associated with something like a giant toy. >> absolutely. and thats what a simulator is for, its to practice those things that would be too dangerous to do in real life. youre going to do those things that you wouldnt normally do. failures at the worst time. ditchi...

Happen in flight. if it does happen if flight, or any time, youre better prepared for it. sometimes you do things as a pilot because maybe you know youll never do it in the air. i mean, the simulator is part entertainment and part training at the same time. so now i have to keep an eye on the speed and the timing is critical here for an engine failure which is on takeoff. and basically seeing if mitchell can handle it, which hes already done this before. and its practicing the procedures. he not...

Okay, so, martin savidge next is going to take us inside the 777 simulator to talk about those pingers and, also, this flight path, this new one and hes feeling pretty confident about it. hes going to show us why.

Ocean comes on heels of the flight data obtained from the pilots flight simulator. lets go live to cnns martin savage inside our flight simulator. martin, is anything unusual about what was found on the pilots simulator? >> reporter: you know, as weve always talked about, the pilot simulator, computer essentially would have a great deal of information that could be valuable to trying to figure out if any way he had pack tractice scenario for the disappearance of flight 370. you see pilots practi...

Intending for anything other than crashing that plane? would anyone be trying to land gently in the spot where that plane on our map is being shown to have gone down? >> i cant imagine a scenario where they would be -- i mean, of course, there are scenarios where you have to ditch. a bird in the engine like what happened in the hudson. but with a healthy airplane, i cant imagine you just deciding to ditch. it doesnt make any sense. there were a lot of airports in the north they could have gone t...

>> all right. the fbi is not giving us any detailed information on what they accessed from that simulator. but it appears that the captain had practiced emergency landings and emergency situations. what do you make of that? >> i dont really think too much into that because obviously you have a simulator -- if he set that up -- to practice certain maneuvers, perhaps to get better. and if i had a simulator in my garage, i would do the same thing and prepare for my test, so-called. but most of us d...

>> thats exactly the point. >> so, don, for him to have that inside of the simulator would suggest youre talking about a very conscientious pilot who was very concerned for the safety of his crew. of this plane. and of the passengers. >> and last night i read a bit of that breaking news on the air. richard, you were there. you said, don, thats exactly -- you said, don, thats exactly what a pilot would do. >> mitch, mitch and marty, that a exactly what a conscientious -- >> thats how he said it. ...

Reveal secret intelligence or methods and strategies of intelligence. but to, again, have the fbi look at the simulator. to have the australians come in and provide more information to the australians, the chinese, and its only logical that the chances for recovery would have been done a lot sooner. >> before i let you go, i have to switch gears to north korea, continues to be a threat to the united states. defense secretary chuck hagel has said hes sending two more missile destroyers to japan. ...

Congratulations. thanks. >> yeah, very nice. i was asking les obben, a 77 pil 7, have you ever had an engine failure at takeoff? >> ive had to abort a takeoff at 90 knots. it was a procedure that was familiar to us. >> are you happy you have enough runway in front of you that you dont have to go airborne? >> if i had to continue, it wouldnt have been a problem either. its part of the recurrent training process. what they just went through was a very similar thing that we practice all the time, a...
