Anyone Can Learn To Fly With Flight Simulation!
Flight simulation and using flight simulators has created a new world for all would be pilots in their own home.
Flight Simulation has reached a stage of such realism that it can be quite awesome!
When you have been on holiday and enjoyed the flight getting there and back, have you ever wished you were the pilot? Most people have dreams about being a pilot and flying their own plane. FLIGHT SIMULATION is a risk free way to experience the thrills of flying.
This computerised game system is so realistic, it allows anyone to sit at home and experience the feeling of sitting in an aircraft cockpit and flying a plane. So, for those of us who really want to feel they are flying, then using a FLIGHT SIMULATION system is the answer.
Imagine taking to the air in a variety of aircraft from light planes, to airliners, to military aircraft, to helicopters and having the choice to fly anywhere in the whole wide world. Imagine sitting in a realistic 3D cockpit that gives you complete control of the aircraft!
Think how you could programme yourself to go on a dawn patrol in your state of the art military fighter plane to protect your country or, take off in control of a 747 with a full complement of passengers to a far off exotic destination, or flying a medical helicopter on a dangerous mission to save lives.
Why not take your family on a pleasure flight to admire the countryside or even a night flight to see the world from above.
All these things are possible through Flight Simulation and much, much, more. You can: . Test your flying skills with different aircraft types.
. Land at thousands of different airports night or day.
. Fly over your home and neighbourhood.
. Fly all over the world.
. You have the facility to change the scenery at your whim.
. Take flights by day or night.
. Control realistic night lighting for runways.
. Fly in formation with other Flight Simulation fans.
. Fly using autopilot.
. Use air to air refuelling.
Flight simulation has really come of age and what used to be considered just ‘games’ are now amazing, true to life flight simulators that will have you eagerly awaiting your next chance to get at the controls for your next flight with you as the pilot!

DIY Flight Simulators – Jet Fighter Cockpit
Pilots: do you think it’s important for me to choose a flight school that has glass-cockpit simulators?
I’m looking at two flight schools. One has sims with glass cockpits. The other does not. Do you think this should be the most important factor in deciding which one to attend?
Both of them cost approximately the same, and both are located on the same field, so cost and commute time are not factors.
Glass cockpits are nice, and enhance situational awareness, but at the cost of not allowing the student to perfect his/her scan for IFR flight.
I would recommend doing the instrument rating in an aircraft with steam guages, and doing the commerical in a glass cockpit. You will find the transfer from steam to glass is quite natural and easy, but the reverse is not true, because if you have not learned a scan for steam guages, you will have a much harder time trying to learn because of the negative transfer, as glass cockpits remove alot of the procedures from steam guage IFR flying, such as tune and ID a fix, primary and supporting insturments, parital panel ifr flying.
