Flight simulators now allow spectacular full motion graphics and the ability to add a new and cost effective “ground school” tool for sport and private pilots. If you’ve ever thought of using flight simulators, the technology is now practical for everyone. High-quality flight simulation is possible now with a good computer, not too much money, and some basic computer skills.
There is nothing like flying the real airplane for the sights, sounds and especially the feel of flying. The forces in the seat can not be duplicated in a flight simulator, but the an airplane flight simulator provides a fun and practical resource to expand your knowledge of flying. Virtual aviation allows you to fly whenever and wherever you want.
Flight simulators provide realistic situations that can help everybody become better pilots, from the ultralight to the corporate jet. For all pilots, the experience of operating the flight controls, trim, flaps, throttle, while watching the airspeed, rate of climb, altitude, attitude and outside references provide great understanding for the fundamentals of flight. It is amazing how good the simulator represents the real airplane and how it flies.
The best value of the flight simulator is learning the tasks that can safe you learning in the airplane such as the instruments, where the airspace is, what the cross country route is before you fly it, new glass panel fundamentals, finding and changing frequencies for airports, using checklists, adjusting mixture and seeing the results, simulating failures and the list goes on.
For this reason, the Hamilton Pilot Training System is adding a complete supplimental training system utilizing flight simulators at www.SimulatorFlightTraining.com
