5 BENEFITS OF SIMULATIONS FOR FLIGHT TRAINING

For fresh pilots flying may be a little bit thrilling and even scary. This thrill is caused by knowing the consequences of making a mistake during flight. We all know the result of making a mistake or error during flight can have catastrophic results. This fear can hinder the process of training for students. The first flight simulator is invented by the Ed Link in 1927. This simulator was called Link Trainer and it changed the way of flight training. Students started to feel more confident in the simulator and therefore the process of training started to develop and get faster. Here are top 5 benefits provided by flight simulators.

Ed Link's Simulator
  1. Safety

During a flight with a real aircraft you usually have one chance to make a mistake. But with the simulators you can always restart your training after hitting the ground nose first after a dive. The luxury of having more than one chance to make a mistake comes with its benefits such as not being afraid of making a mistake and trying to learn with trial and error.

  1. Improving Skills

If you struggle to accomplish a task in the real-life flight conditions such as cross-country flights, time tracking or dead reckoning a simulator may help you to improve those particular skills. A proper simulator with realistic terrain visuals, weather conditions and other real-life conditions can help you get used to real-life flying; in fact this is the only aim of simulator training. You can also improve you IFR skills as well as VFR navigation skill with flight simulators.

  1. Getting used to Bad Weather

We know it can be scary to fly in gusty weather in the beginning of your training. A strong gust can take the control of the aircraft from you if you are not ready for it. Knowing how aircraft would react under strong winds or gusts can help you to increase safety of flight. But it would be risky to learn and gain this experience by trying it in real-life. Flight simulators have customizable weather conditions such as storms, hails even sandstorms. It is highly beneficial to fly in these conditions for seeing and experiencing from the first hand, how the aircraft acts in this situations.

  1. Rehearsing Emergency Procedures
In real life trying an emergency procedure might not be realistic since you can’t/musn’t shut you engine down. But in flight simulators you can always shut your engine or deactivate your elevator controls. Even though you fail to land safely you can always try that again without a scratch on your nose. In flight simulators, if something goes wrong such as a maneuver or miscommunication with air traffic control or getting lost during cross country flight, you’ll simply reset the route and begin over with none ill consequences. With the power to quickly repeat these procedures, you will build up the required knowledge and motor memory that makes you a prepared pilot once you hop within the cockpit.
  1. Flying from Home
Nowadays you can obtain your own professional flight simulator on your own PC. We know it can be hard and struggling to have a training flight in a tight cockpit with another person saying what to do you. You can always try to do the same training flight you did that day by yourself with a flight simulator so that you can see your own mistakes. It would not be as efficient as a licensed flight simulator at your flight school but it will help. As you progress through flight school, you’ll become conscious of how important it’s to constantly be practicing, even after you obtain a personal pilot certification. It’s crucial that you simply maintain proficiency within the cockpit. Flight simulators provide a reasonable amount of practice to keep your skills and knowledge so that you are always safe and ready.
