The Cessna 172 is an excellent aircraft for beginning your journey as a pilot.
This class will help you understand the normal operation of the Cessna 172 from an experienced Certified Flight Instructor (CFI).
You will get to observe a full flight from start to finish, including the use of normal checklists and procedures.
The aircraft used will be the SimCoders Reality Expansion Pack For X-Plane 11 and 12. This add-on helps make the performance of the default Cessna 172 more realistic, including improved flight dynamics (such as left-turning tendencies), failure options, and more.
Syllabus:
- Briefing of route and overview of the flight
- Normal procedures, including:
- Before start engine checklist
- Before takeoff checklist (runup)
- Takeoff and climbout procedures
- Approach and landing
- Intro to Reality Expansion Pack (REP)-specific features such as the maintenance clipboard and in-flight tips
- Q&A: With any remaining time, we will answer your questions about the Cessna 172 and X-Plane!
Each class is conducted in a group format on Zoom. The instructor will use screen sharing to perform demonstrations. If you have your own simulator, we highly encourage you to follow along with the instructor.
Webcam/microphone use is not required. You are welcome to use the chat feature in Zoom to ask questions throughout.
This class will be taught by one or more members of our remote flight instructor team and/or additional guest instructors.
They are flight simulation experts who will help you quickly learn how to use your simulator for training and as a rewarding hobby.
