When it comes to the switches, I know which one to press and in the somehow correct order. But for most part - noone explains (in tutorials) WHY i should click these buttons etc. Well, battery I get, and different strobes etc. But “alternate air”, and “cowl flaps”. Well, I finally worked that out, but it would be great to hear that explained in videos etc…its just like we already should know. I don’t - but I try to learn.
When it comes to flight planning, Im kind of stuck just flying around (which might be ok in VFR in good weather , daytime) - but Im not sure Im using the ATC as I should. Is that ATC realistic? (not ready for live real atc yet, hard to remember what to say). But I also want to learn to use radiobeacons (correct word?), VFR, DME etc. yeah, there are probably loads of videos out there…but they all seem to be for people already knowing… (laugh) what it is.
I want a very, very slow description what VOR is, DME and…ADF and… C3PO…and… well, you get it. =) As it is now…Im just playing around, setting destingation in FS and getting there by AP or flying myself. I have no clue how to use the above instruments, and i have no really cloue what they do and when to use them. Also, do you use them in VFR, or is that for IFR? And in VFR do you…well , so many questions…
No, not sure how to follow rules I guess. I was trying to learn patterns when landing etc, but well…I mixed things up. Downwind…Upwind… But I guess I should start with the nice 152 (like the mod for it as well), and then get to a local field in the sim…and just plan a trip sort of… Not just fly. Do I have correct amount of fuel, alternate landing sites… well - all that.
IFR is something else I guess…even though I know the instruments quite ok. But then again, cant plan procedures for takeoff and landing. Its a bit too much, everyting.
I hope Im not a lost case.
Thanks for your support @N316TS - and to the rest of you as well. I’ll dig into what you have been writing a bit more tomorrow. =)
