Home flight simulators offer a wealth of training situations to sharpen a pilot’s aircraft operating skills. Instrument flying is one of the most valuable scenarios we can practice in a standard home simulator that will translate to the physical aircraft. Join Sporty’s own Chris McGonegle as he covers how to configure Instrument flights in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-Plane 12.
Topics include
– Navigating MSFS and X-Plane 12
– Setting live weather
– Advantageous simulator scenarios
– Best practices to train rather than game
– Video of an Instrument approach down to minimums
