Training Programs And Flight Simulation

If you are currently in training at a flight school

, you will be receiving the very best pilot training there is. But rookies could always do with upping their game, so its best to invest in some flight simulation software that you can install at home. By install, that means simply set up on the games platform of your choice. These days, you can find games and tests for conducting on your PC or Mac, PS3 or X Box.

Flight simulation offers trainee pilots the chance to experience the mechanics of a flight as well as its attendant attributes such as changes in pressure without actually being up in the air.

If you are just beginning a training programme, or are considering applying for one, here is an idea of what to expect. In many professional flight schools, initial training is conducted partially in the aircraft itself and partially in comparatively low-cost training devices such as a Flight and Navigation Procedures Trainer (FNPT) and a Flight Training Device (FTD).

As you become more familiar with basic aircraft handling and flight skills, you will progress onto a higher grade of flight simulators. More emphasis will be placed on instrument flying, cockpit resource management (known as CRM), and advanced aircraft systems, and the amount of flight training conducted in these devices will increase significantly. Finally, for more advanced aircraft-specific training, the student moves on to the very high-tech-sounding Full Flight Simulators (FFS) particularly as part of the training for the Commercial Air Transport (CAT) aircraft that they will eventually fly. For many commercial pilots, most aircraft training is conducted in high level FTDs or an FFS. As the name suggests, an FFS is one of the most comprehensive and accurate ways to experience a flight without actually flying.

Apart from trainee pilots, flight simulation software that can be used in the home is also great for topping up the skills of more experienced pilots. It can be a great way of getting your family and friends involved in a job that may be difficult to explain to laypeople. Complete the experience by setting up your own flight simulation station at home, complete with simulation hardware such as gaming surfaces, pads, joysticks, throttle systems, and keyboards, all of which can be matched to your computer or games console. There is a broad range of equipment available online, so there will be something to suit all budgets.
