I really appreciate the support as this helps me to keep VR Flight World running strong. If you mention that you came from VR Flight World, then I get a small commision. Please note that the link is not an affiliate link, however VR Flight World is affiliated with Zero Sideslip. If you really want to take your flight training to another level, then this is something I would try. The instructor and owner is Mike Catalfamo, who is a real world flight instructor (CFI and CFII). This is a service that allows you to fly with a real life instructor. If you stumble on this step or just want more help with any type of flight training, then I wanted to let you know about a service I recently stumble across. Once you start to practice the calls at home, you will feel more comfortable with the calls and you will be able to focus more on the flying. There is a lot to remember, and on top of this, if you are a student pilot, you are learning to fly. This can be a real stumbling block for a lot of people because you have to remember the structure for the call, the alpha, beta, charlie, and the awkward niner. If you verbalise the calls out loud, you will get comfortable with making calls. This can be done in several ways, such as using the built in traffic control for X-Plane 11 but one of my favourite ways to do this is to make the calls to myself. Now that you have started your plane and are going through your checklist, there is an important step that most people on flight sims will neglect… Your radio. Do it the same way you were trained in your flight school. This will really help cement in good habits. Obviously you won’t be able to check your oil or dip your tanks, but you can go around your plane systematically and verbalise everything you would be doing. You can even go as far as doing your walk around your plane. Grab your checklist, go through it and hit every step, just like your real flight. So now that you are back at your hangar, don’t let X-Plane 11 auto start your plane. It’s amazing when you fly around the airport you know, you can actually use landmarks, as most of the scenery is pretty accurate in the X-plane. So don’t pick a big airport because you like the scenery around it. The amazing thing about X-Plane 11 is that it has virtually every airport out there, including the little ones. My plane is sitting with the engine off waiting for me exactly where I left it on my last real world flight lesson. When I go to do a practice flight, I get my plane setup exactly where I would start in real life. If you start on the runway, you are missing out on so many opportunities to improve your skills as a new pilot, or even an experienced pilot.
