As a first time simmer, you’re changing my entire experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, and it’s all for the better. Knowledge makes this so much more enjoyable. Cheers

“Shoot every approach to the go around; a landing is a bonus”

You took your time! I’ve been up in the air for the past week waiting for this tutorial!

a rule of thumb for a 3 degree glide path to the runway, take current speed divide by half and add a (0) to the end of it. So 100kt/2= 50 add 0 you get 500fpm decent. Learned that from a pilot long ago.

My girlfriend asked why I looked up "Flying Squirrel Tutorial". So I had her watch this video with me.

Pls do a complete tutorial on how to use autopilot, I just can’t figure it out

This a fabulous tutorial series. Easily the best I've ever encountered, regardless of genre. I've been doing flight simulators for 30 years and I've never come close to learning so much before. Fun, comprehensive and calm.  Each lesson is a delight.

12:50 PURE BUTTER.

that's actually really really insightful. good job. love this kind of tutorials

Microsoft missed out. They should have hired you for the flight training element. So much more information than in the sim training

Halfway through and I’ve already taken more notes than I did all through graduate school.

During my pilot training, I learned to "PAT it down"   Power, Attitude, Trim - in that order to descend. Great video - thanks for sharing!

Keeping up with your tutorials. I'm learning a little something every time. Looking forward to the next one.
My landings definitely need improvement.
I'm curious to learn more about rudder/coordinated turns.

I remember my instructor telling me basically the same thing about the relationship between the approach and the landing.  He would often point out other planes on short final and their wonky approaches, and then have me watch their landing.  Pretty much all resulted in bounces or off center line touch downs where the plane wasn't lined up with the runway causing some noticeable swerves.  All good landings come from a nice stabilized approach.  If the approach is unstable, the landing won't be good and might be dangerous.  If the approach doesn't look or feel right, it's always better to do the go-around instead of trying to "save" the landing.  And in real life never be embarrassed about doing a go around.  Every good pilot recognizes it as a show of good judgement, which is a respectable thing.  (But every pilot also judges every landing they watch!  So make it nice by setting up a nice stable approach.)

Love these tutorials, thanks so much for taking the time to do them! I'd really like to see a future tutorial on setting up all the different features of autopilot;  FLC, FD, BANK, CRS, VS, APR, etc.. I'm not a pilot, and I figured out a few of the features through trial and catastrophic error, but several I just can't seem to make work.  Thanks in advance!

One more thing ... You probably want to adjust your mixture on a Cessna 152, if it was cold, you could have got carburetor fuel freeze in your approach. (Keep a good ECG at the beginning of the approach )

Would be amazing if after you're done with this video series you moved onto things like ILS approaches and auto pilot systems for different aircraft! thank you so much for this series, it is the best I have found so far. Can you recommmend any free versions of things like Navigraph to enhance experience?

Loving your videos, mate!! Hope you get around to doing a full A320neo tutorial from take-off to landing :)

I doubt there is a better landing tutorial in all of YouTube.  Thanks.
