Suggestions of landing simulation practice for real flying?
zfehr replied to Alec's topic in Hangar Chat
Congratulations Alec :Applause: . You will never forget that first solo flight... just you and plane on your own. -
Private airstrip that hosts annual fly in. This year 88 aircraft and 1,000 people attended at the beautifully manicured grass strip.

This is pretty cool, bet he's already in the mile high club though! https://www.facebook...94430507&type=1

Relative to other aircraft in the air it's all equal. The pilot has to be aware of airspace though which could have lower speed limits and which crosswind component could put him into and/or tailwinds would make him enter faster. ATC's concern is seperation in the air and closing speeds between aircraft. Pilot's responsibility is knowledge of which airspace they are in.

I messed with this enough in v9 to just give up. If you can find the coordinates ( a witching wand is handy!) the resultant display is so poor quality (nothing even close to FS4) that it ######es you off for the time you just wasted trying to figure out how to do it. If someone has a magic pill that will make this worthwhile please spill the beans for our benefit. PS. Had I known about the language filter being set to such an innocuous word I would have used much worse language! -

Alec, If I ever make it to Brazil or you make it up here to the Pacific NorthWest we are going to go flying for real :yahoo: ...and Larry, get up here so we can go visit the Vans factory at Aurora, I'm right next to it every Thursday for my club meetings (www.caapilots.com) -

Larry, you're cracking me up and getting too hung up on this. For most simming all this is just fine... I use it ALL THE TIME for that! The OP was asking for input regarding practice during the learning phase of landing in real life and I just couldn't let him think using the sim would be a great idea for that purpose and then gave the reasons. In the plane he will learn the proper responses and burn in that motor memory and be able to come back to the sim and have a great time re-living those real life experiences. Some of the aircraft are less evident of the trim problem than others so I imagine you haven't run into this with the simming you have been doing, this is all for fun anyway. I just want to make sure he (the OP) gets in the aircraft and learns those skills properly. I'm sitting here thinking you might not want to sit in the back seat with someone at the controls that has done the majority of their flare training in the sim and have just few real world landings under their belt. Safe skies to all of you. The computer sim remains the best all around value for training so many other skill sets. -
Thanks all :dance:

Took my 4 year old Bella up for her first flight. Sophie loved getting to sit co-pilot. We climbed up to 8,500 to get a look across the scattered overcast and then shot the RNAV back in to Aurora. Both of them wanted to fly through a cloud. I teased them that we didn't find any marshmallows in them!
