Procedure for calculating weight and balance

: It can be done in an airplane. Can anyone do it in a simulator? Has it even been tried? Heh, heh, waiting for Mx cult to chime in on this one :-)) After all, you don't need to be in a real plane to learn to fly as I was told last week. Allen |

Not exactly on topic but something to try in a simulator and again in an air. Trim for level at cruise, Put your hands and arms a far forward as you can and hold them there. The nose of the aircraft will drop and the speed increase slightly in the airplane but not in the simulator. Then put your hands up and back as far as you can reach. The plane's nose will rise and airspeed will drop as you lelnter a climb. You can actually fly the aircraft just be moving your arms and using the rudder. This is NOT possible on the simulator. Are you tested on it when you get your license? Nagasaki.was a secondary target requiring an attack from a direction opposite to the one practiced. Thus this very first electronic simulator paved the way for the failures of future electronic simulators to really provide a true sense of what is supposed to happen. That was 62 years ago. Times have changed. As he lined up on the runway, I informed him that I had electrified the yoke. Were he to touch the yoke he would go up in smoke. Under the hood he flew a perfect flight without touching the yoke including making the Oakland published missed at which point I asked his permission to have a go at it. It can be done in an airplane. Can anyone do it in a simulator? It's possible in most simulators, just as it is possible in real life. It's even possible in MSFS. However, success would depend on the pilot. Has it even been tried? I don't know. I'll have to try it sometime, when I'm looking for a challenge. Currently, I have enough trouble with more conventional flying. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

So in the same post you say something can be done in most simulator, including MSFS, AND that you have never done it and don't know if anyone has ever done it in a simulator. Add to that I doubt you have any experience with MOST simulators. |
