Flight simulator games makes you experience the mechanics and physics of flight in historical and contemporary aircraft. Computer models used by Flight simulators uses for aircraft’s handling characteristics, aerodynamics and speeds are extracted from the real world specifications. Through a series of flights, you will be led slowly from taxi and lift-off through all the traditional procedures, towards the execution of complicated instrument approaches.
You will learn to fly airplane smoothly, prepare to use flight plan, use the instruments with confidence, land from any standard pattern, navigate with NAV radios when you are above the clouds, fly victor airways, handle stalls, engine failures, execute short field landings and takeoffs and do a bit more. You’ll find flying the simulator is exhilarating, satisfying and fun. A good flight plan should not be complicated, a flight plan is more than just the route you will follow on the cross country trip. Proper flight plan also serves as a tool for use all along the way, as it allows keeping a track of position. In addition, it is enjoyable to track progress and updating your estimates on route.
All flight programs contain procedures for handling flight problems and all emergencies. Pilots learn to recover from the stalls and what to do in case of an engine failure. The exercises are really fun to do. Emergencies are very easy enough on a simulator, but procedures for managing them are still tough. They will improve your confidence, and they will also increase your understanding of the airplane and all of its controls.
First you will put the airplane in some aerodynamic stalls, and after that you will simulate the loss of power and thus make an emergency landing on beach. Precision landings, referred as spot landings or accuracy landings are meant in order to improve pilot’s control and judgement. There are many ways for executing landings like those made from power-off and 180° turn.
Victor airways are like the inter-city highway system, they are a system of routes that run all along the specified VOR radials, all the way from a VOR station to the other. They make flight planning much easier, and they also help the Air Traffic Control in order to regulate and organize the traffic flow. It takes some practice to be perfect, but you will learn much about the controlling the airplane and it also feels very good when you actually nail it.
