@gtn0510 actually it was a great approach for a short field...rather come slightly short then go off the runway...the only thing was there wasnt enough backpressure after touchdown, causing him to ride the brakes...but he a great job other then that...safe skies!
Instructors get PAID to discourage flight sims! I fly and Microsoft Flight sim, or X-plane can be a real help to any pilot. Think about it - these things are as sophisticated as the multi-million simulators used by airlines and the military only 15 years ago. They use simulators - just don't treat it as a game and it will be helpful.
your completely wrong. flight sims are terrible, they are NOTHING like real life. The ATC is different, the feel is different, everythign is completely different. play flight sim for fun, dont play it for training...it is nothing the same as a good flight sim...no offense or nothing, but you really gotta have your head in the clouds to think its as sophosticated as an airline sim.
I agree with this also when your looking to FS2004 and X there is no physics whatsoever and stalls and many other characteristics of flight are not "simulated" nor are there crappy depictions. Level 5 or D sims are where its at for situational awareness!
level 5 and level D simulators are approved by the FAA to allow you to actually record hours in a virtual simulated training situation. These are usually full motion
ok but its not all garbage man, i learned about the 250 kias speed restriction, and pretty much all the basics.I'm not going to say it gives me real life training but i kinda get an idea, thats why i cant wait to go to a real Flight School
FS can teach you SOME basics, but flying in the real world is much different from FS. If you haven't started your flight training yet, then have a blast with it, beleive me i did, but when you start, try to not use it unless for instrument training.
That makes little sense i've been flying for quite a while and find Flight Simulator to be quite the supplement for procedures training, while it can't amount to the actual aircraft it is quite useful for other aspects of training
Its a great tool for learning the basics of flying, A LOT of instructors I've had in the past have said that this is a great tool. The 250 below 10,000 rule is a speed restriction, as an instructor (so called) you should know that. As for the actual feel of an aircraft and characteristics, especially in slow flight, is rather poor. You'd be naive to think its perfect.
doesnt matter, sure they use rules and stuff that are accurate, but its not a good tool for anything but instrument training...thats what i use it for. you go ahead and use your sim to learn if you want, and if ou cant afford to fly in real life, than its great, but if your actually flying, its just gonna hurt you. dont get me wrong, i learned on a sim too, and it was great...but its so much different in real life...you dont have a horizon in flight sim...you cant see your nose either whichiskey
Hey funny story, I'm a real pilot...and...I fly three times week. So I can afford it. I also applied for pilot training...for the Air Force. I half way agreed with you, so don't get butt hurt.
lol i beleive you, and im not saying that your wrong...your right, dont get me wrong, because i learned the basics on a sim, but i thought if you stuck me in a plane i could fly it because ive flown on a sim...beleive me, theres no way i coulda done it. lol
I agree. I can grease every type of aircraft offered for FS from the C172 to the AN225 in my sleep, but when it comes to my real-life flight training (27-hour student pilot) ive discovered how difficult getting a perfect landing each time really is. As far as ILS procedures, FS isnt perfect but I've learned a TON about them through it.
no kidding hey? Well its not actually that hard to land it good every time, it just comes with a lot more experience.
and yeah i agree with the instrument stuff, im just now finding out how practicing your instrument procedures, etc. on flight sim actually saved u money for your instrument rating. its great
Yea, its tough for me because im balancing flying, school, and a job with the airlines. I usually fly once a week.. and by the time the next flight comes around, i find myself trying to get the feel for it again. before i got laid off and had to stop my training, i had my landings down pretty good. Sadly, it was almost 3 months before I took to the skies again. They dont like when they tell you "once you start, dont ever stop" you'll find urself trying to catch up real fast.
I thought i had the time, until i got laid off lol. I was supposed to have it done in 3 months. I work on the ramp for Northwest Airlines in Orlando. My flight training takes place at Orlando Executive Airport
that sucks haha. If you wanna get a license that REALLY counts, you should get a TC license;) (Transport Canada). They are worth way more than an American license and easily converted...than again its hard to get from florida to canada and way more expensive.
how is a tc license worth more than the American one? lol I like training in Florida, but I hate flying in the summer. it's way too hot. I fly a C172N
Because The FAA just has...problems haha, A canadian commercial pilot license is recognized anywhere in the world...an FAA commercial "certificate" is recognized nowhere outside of the states. Transport Canada is a bit more thorough in their trianing, ex.: you have to do spins in private training, and you have to have over 200 horus to get your commercial license.
The weather is great down here. It's wierd because the fall, winter, and spring are the perfect times to fly. In the summer, you gotta fly in the morining or at night due to the insane heat and the daily afternoon thunderstorms.
The storms and heat provide the only real challange to Floridian flying. Winter weather is awesome. Almost every single day is perfect for flying. We do get the occasional windy day (lots of crosswind days at ORL if you stick with the 7-25 runway rather than the shorter runway), but that just makes flying more fun.
sweet!! lucky you guys, up here on the westcoast winter means rain and fog and low stratus/cirrus...so much for winter flying, we dont do a whole lot lol
In the U.S. you have to have 250 hours of training for commercial. And other countries around the world (that are ICAO) recogonize an FAA commercial certificate. Do some research about the FAA and ICAO before you type or speak. Thanks!
what are you talking about? Every country that is ICAO recognizes an FAA certificate, but you cannot convert it into another license without a great deal of paperwork and additional training. If you get a canadian license or a british license you can pretty well go to the states sign a paper and youve got an american license.
you do YOUR research and read the post properly before YOU speak. Thanks!

next time dont hit the brakes until youve got enough weight on the tires, they shouldnt be skidding like that

I said "as sophisticated as they were 15 years ago" . Airline pilot training companies used them then and they were terrible by FS2004 standards.
