Flight Simulators
I have a lot of experience on flying Flight Simulators. Now I wont to fly for real.?
I know pretty much everything there is to know about flying (Flaps, autopilot, how to do approaches, everything!) thanks to Flight Simulator.
Now I want to take real lessons.
Would my experience in simulators help me get a license faster?
Theres a saying the the aviation world that there is nothing more dangerous than a 100-hour private pilot because they think they know everything when the fact is they havent really been challenged by the weather or airplane yet, but the day is coming for them that they will have a real humbling experience, thinking they are invinsible… heading into really bad weather, not flying by the book, ect. ect. But now I’m beginning to re-think that whole philosophy, maybe the most dangerous thing is a 1000 hr. flight simmer. You don’t understand that the real thing is much more fast paced and that you can die doing this, something you dont have to worry about in the friendly skies of FS. ATC is totaly different in the real world and if your like most flight simmers, you fly the jets on IFR runs all the time, fly the Cessna in VFR and try to with no help from ATC, maybe a list of frequencies of your VOR waypoints and just fly. While in flight, attempt a few coordiated turns, try a flight without auto-pilot, what about a full visual approach where your told to enter on the crosswind or downwind legs? could you do that? they tell you where to start and you do the rest. The way I see it you may know what flaps and autopilot are and you might even be able to tune the NAV1 radio for an ILS but when you see it for real, in a real plane with 0-0 vis. you won’t know what hit you. Its not the same, facts are the same, flying is not. I encourage you to go learn to fly, tell your instructor that he need not say anything, you know it all, and listen to him laugh. Learn, have an open mind and know that a 10,000 hr. ATP is still learning how to fly. Sorry if that was harsh but this is real flying with real rules and real lives at stake, in the air and on the ground.
