Im done with you.

I fly the C172 and C172RG.

The cessna 172 is very forgiving, and easy to fly.

You have to follow ATC instructions, they will set you up for a 45 Deg angle, when the ILS (LOC) needle starts to move in, turn to the inbound heading, then keep the needle centered, then watch the glideslope, make sure to keep the arrow in the center, if the arrow is above the center, that means yo...

Yes!! Planes have heaters, but not many general aviation planes have A/C. About the shirt, after you come back from your solo flight, they CUT THE LOWER BACK OF YOUR SHIRT OFF!!

Max, you are right. There have been many times when I have run-up the airplane at a run-up area, or just before the runway. I have aborted a few flights due to a mag test or carb test, and had to bring it back to get looked at, only if you cannot clear the engine.

Its not a guess, its called experience. Got that.

How hard is learning to fly? Not that hard, you might be surprised.

When will I solo? WHEN YOU ARE READY 10-20 hours of instruction time.

Why do some students quit. THEY DONT LIKE IT!! OR THEY GET COLD FEET!! WHAT EVER COMES FIRST!!

I think you will like it though.

First off, YES!!!!! Most airplanes have a GPS, even the new small cessna's have a GPS. How real is FS, Alot of aspects of FS are real, most are not. Even though you can fly an airplane good on FS, does not mean you will like flying in real life, there is a difference on FS. Also, flying in real life...

You can fly the ILS in a C172, The ILS has nothing to do with ''high performance''

1.Also look into the area of stalls, slow flight, steep turns, short field takeoff, short field landing, soft field takeoff, soft field landing.

2.Emergency procedures.

3. VFR navigation.

To do your private pilots licence would cost around $5000 or about £3000. It all depends on how fast a learner you are. In florida for a 152 cessna, it cost $70 per hour (wet), and a cessna 172 cost around $89 per hour (wet). Add $30 per hour for the instructor, untill you can fly solo. To get your ...

All the checkrides on FS are way too stricked. And when I took my PPL and commercial checkride, It was not as stricked as you may think. It also depends on the examiner. In a real life checkride they do give you room for error.

Well if you fly in a real cessna, you do talk, to ATC. There is a transmitter and a reciver. But when you are flying using FS you only need the reciver, and you use the computer keyboard for the transmitter.

If you want a very real experience using FS, get Voicebuddy.

You dont have to talk.

Your right, of course any headset would work.

You only have to put the ILS frequency in the # 1 VOR.

He should say runway 32 left, or runway 32 center, or runway 32 right. Just use common sense. And like the last person said. Look at the GPS map. If you cant see the runway, well then you should have filed an IFR flight plan, and use the ILS for a safe landing.

To long for me to explain. Find a IFR tutorial. One thing people dont understand is just because you fly IFR, or do a ILS landing does not mean you always fly the autopilot!! If you ever get your instument rating in a cessna you will find out very fast that this is not the case!! And you will hand f...

The standard temperature is 15C (59F) and the standard pressure is 29.92

That could be the reason why, FS is using standard temperature and pressure.

I use real world weather.

How do you land on the runway. Well, you do something called PRACTICE!

Well I have been a pilot for five years. And thanks to FS, iv been able to improve my flying skills because FS is a good training device. I have saved alot of money training on FS. Being a pilot, I would say FS is far from the real thing, but not that far. Most real world pilots that I have talked t...

Thats true. ATC is not that good. Its very unrealistic hearing an american voice in the UK, or Mexico. The panels are not bad, I will give it that much. But the airport environment is down right a shame. The snenery is the worst of all, ie buildings, trees. The best part of FS is the aircraft, they ...

When I fly the C172, the ''P'' factor happens when at high angle of attack, and at low airspeed. It feels more like a yaw then a bank. The procedure is to put in right rudder. When you practice chandelles for the commercial pilots licence, at the turn out of a chandelle, the P factor is most very st...

Im a pilot in real life. And FS is about 65% as real as the real thing. The airports are not that real.

Of course they have auto land. Are you telling me a (boeing) 747-400 cant use a cat II or cat III APR system.

I have done hundreds of landings in a cessna 172, alot of it is about speed, altitude, flap settings, and just plan feel.

As a pilot, I can tell you that using the AI for the landing is okay for IFR flights. However, using the AI for VFR landings is a NO NO in the aviation world, and is frown upon.

Yes. Go to yahoo, put in airnav, its the link at the top.

Or just click this link> www.airnav.com

Note: Airnav is for U.S. airports only. (at this time.)
