However, those who want to be told how to control the plane at every step of the way will find themselves feeling vulnerable several thousands of feet in the air.
However, I can admit that my landings are still a little rough (and that’s an understatement).įor learners who love autonomy and enjoy being left to their own devices, they’ll love Microsoft Flight Simulator’s style of teaching. At this point, there will be no instructions - you’ll just have to tap into your knowledge of physics to regain equilibrium.ĭuring my first attempt at flying the Cessna, I made some near-fatal mistakes, prompting my Jess to yell “You’ve left the training airspace! You need to go back!” But after a few more practice sessions, I started to get the hang of it. For example, Jess may tell you to pivot your aircraft downward using the yoke, and soon after, she will command you to “level out” the plane (or else you’ll end up crashing). The average flight duration of these classes is 11 minutes.Īlthough Jess coaches you through flying the aircraft, she will not hold your hand. Microsoft Flight Simulator offers seven other training courses, including Altitudes and Instruments, Take-off and Level Flight, Landing, Traffic Pattern, First Solo Flight, Navigation and First Solo Navigation.
After mastering the ailerons, you’ll get an encouraging “nice!” from your virtual flight coach.
The yoke controls the aircraft’s ailerons, which allow the plane to pitch (upward or downward movement of the aircraft’s nose), roll, and bank into turns.
