Simulator

My instructors highly suggested getting a flight simulator program for your home computer. You can find them on the web or buy them in the store. I tried downloading one but my computer was too slow to support it. I never bought one either, but looking back, it could have saved me time and money. There’s really no way to tell – and as the saying goes, hind sight is 20/20. Michael Curie, my current instructor, told me this helped with his training. The program has most airports and approaches loaded into the system, so he was able to fly his approach for his next lesson the night before he went on his flight. There is a good chance it could help you with your flying. Michael suggests getting the joystick, others say it’s not necessary. What do you think? Have you used a simulator during training? Please leave a comment & tell us if you think using a simulator has helped you. Do you have topics you have questions about? Ask me here or email me at jessicacooper@dcamail.net.
