Hi guys looking for after market plane which will be good to fly VFR/IFR and easy to handle and learn flight navigation with. Cheers Wayne.

There are so many candidates, it may be hard to select. Take a look at the Carenado TC210M Centurion. In a low wing model, I like the Bonanzas. The Carenado A36 or the F33 are both very nice.I'm sure you will be getting many more opinions from the community here.

Just make sure you don't use a plane that is too fast. Very hard to learn when things happen in a flash.

Which sim do you use?How about the Duke or SF260 from Realair?

IMHO, if you are just learning VFR/IFR, the Duke and SF260 are probably a little to advanced (fast) for the beginner. A C152 or C172 would probably be best. I suggested the Centurion or a Bonanza because they will be a little more advanced and give you more "headroom" to grow into.

No worries I'll check them out thanks guys, your right don't want anything to fast. Save that for later.

Save money and use default planes. The all do the same thing, no reason to waste money on carenados which look good but they don't have the best flight dynamics.

To be honest, the IFR-equipped default planes will do the job, you could try the Mooney for example. The only thing I might suggest where learning navigation is concerned, is that you may possibly want to look at an add-on aircraft that has a glass cockpit, since these are becoming more common in the general aviation world and there aren't really any good representations of that amongst the default aircraft, so the likes of Flight 1's glass cockpit single engined Cessna might be worth considering (although it is a bit of a frame rate hog if you don't have a fairly swift PC) or perhaps something like a Diamond Katana or some such. Having said that, there is a lot to be said still for learning VOR navigation with the traditional steam gauges and a simple radio set up. Also worth a look, would be some of the add-on simulated Garmin systems which you can place into a default aeroplane.Al

which ones are the add on simulated Garmin systems you mentioned thanks.

Reality xp has a GNS 530 and 430.It uses the real Garmin trainingsoftware so would be as realistic as possible. Not sure how up to date it's database is.

Had a look at their website thinking about the 530 does anyone else have it or recommend these products for learning purposes.

My guess would be default C172 + AccuFeel and damage mod found in library. When You will be 'bored' in Cessna IFR training, go for a Duke (piston or turbine) and for a small jet (F1 Mustang for example).

Download a Piper Warrior, PA28.Nicest aircraft in which to learn to fly.Most of the learn to fly aircraft do not have retractable landing gear.

No worries thanks guys food for thought.
