How good an idea? Good enough to justify continuing forwards. How well does MS Flight simulator simulate what ground detail a pilot would see from 500 feet looking over the nose of the aircraft? It depends on the graphic settings and the scenery used. In some cases it simulates just about every rock and bush, in other cases it's just a vague group of hills. We know you have never flown an aircraft, but have you ever even been a passenger in the front seat of an aircraft and experienced the view from 500 feet? Not in person, but I've seen videos. And how long do you think you would have from 500 feet with no power to make a judgement of whether that peice of seemingly flat smooth safe land is really that? Not very long, depending on a number of factors. If you don't have time to figure it out, you point at whatever looks safest. You still don't turn, unless you are certain that whatever is ahead will kill you. ... and what would you do when you get to 400 feet and suddenly discover there is a power line slap bang across the approach path or a bunch of kids playing chase? you have no idea. Virtually no one does. People in situations like that don't usually live to talk about it. |

There you go again - just NOT LISTENING. Read what he said (he's probably talking about a situation with poor visibility (but it could be any other dire situation) that a pilot deems it's time to set down. Nothing wrong with the plane!). Then it is also unrelated to the impossible turn. |

It's important to be prepared for any eventuality when flying. So do you wear a parachute when you are playing simulators? or do you have a ballistic one attached to your PC? :-) |

writes: Yeah to a real pilot in a real airplane, but not to a simmer. Simmers generally have the same priorities. That's what simulation is all about. Delusional. You've already said you avoid things like VFR traffic and NORDO aircraft, which are very common in real flying ... Not over LAX. I like to fly in Class A, B, C, or D airspace, and NORDO aircraft are scarce there for obvious reasons. I do fly in other airspaces, but often at such out-of-the-way airports that there's nobody else around. If you are less than 10,000 feet, LAX is surrounded by places with lots of VFR and NORDO traffic in the real world. The "out-of-the-way airports" are where, in the real world, you are most likely to find NORDO traffic. ... so why the obsession with simulating the dreaded "impossible turn", which is very rare by comparison in real flying? I don't simulate this turn. I rarely practice engine-out procedures, and even if I did, the impossible turn is such a stellar example of poor judgment that I'd not likely be tempted to try it. So why do you seem so obsesed with it? -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

"terry" wrote you have no idea. Of course he doesn't. But you know that, as does everyone responding to his posts. Why bother? He will not learn. He will not admit he is wrong. Anyone reading this tread already knows he is an idiot, and will not try anything or believe anything he has said. Simply put, there is nothing left to be said. Gang, let's end it with this dope, before more good people see what nut cases are here, and never come back. -- Jim in NC |

If you know you can land ahead off the runway with no damage to the airplane, is there still any reason to turn around? Why are you obsessed with a part of flight that has no meaning to you? Just hit Control ALT Delete and walk away. Leave the real stuff to real pilots. The good and even great advice that has been handed out in here you have ignored or turned into a game of semantics. Go forth and multipy ! Do you really want to encourage him to multiply ?( not that there would be a snowballs chance in hell of that happening- that would require him having sex with a human being and you cant do that over a computer) Why is he obsessed with something that has no meaning to him.? *Do a google on Aspergers Syndrome. My comment "go forth and multiply" is a nice way to tell him to get F----. ! |
