Flying in VR is so real it is mind-blowing.

Some of the U.S. Air Force's A-10 Warthog pilots are now training, in part, using a literal computer game, albeit a highly sophisticated and realistic one, known as Digital Combat Simulator World, more commonly referred to simply as DCS. The 355th Training Squadron at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona is using DCS together with commercially available virtual reality headsets and other gaming peripherals to provide a low-cost way of augmenting more traditional training regimens on the ground and in the air. This underscores the growing and at times controversial interest within the Air Force, as well as elsewhere across the U.S. military, in using VR to help expand training capacity and do so on the cheap.

The Piper PA28 Warrior. Certainly one of the best aircraft to learn to fly in.

A reciprocating engine, also often known as a piston engine, is typically a heat engine (although there are also pneumatic and hydraulic reciprocating engines) that uses one or more reciprocating pistons to convert pressure into a rotating motion. This article describes the common features of all types. The main types are: the internal combustion engine, used extensively in motor vehicles; the steam engine, the mainstay of the Industrial Revolution; and the niche application Stirling engine. Internal combustion engines are further classified in two ways: either a spark-ignition (SI) engine, where the spark plug initiates the combustion; or a compression-ignition (CI) engine, where the air within the cylinder is compressed, thus heating it, so that the heated air ignites fuel that is injected then or earlier.

The Lycoming O-320 is a large family of naturally aspirated, air-cooled, four-cylinder, direct-drive engines produced by Lycoming Engines. They are commonly used on light aircraft such as the Cessna 172 and Piper Cherokee. Different variants are rated for 150 or 160 horsepower (112 or 119 kilowatts). As implied by the engine's name, its cylinders are arranged in horizontally opposed configuration and a displacement of 320 cubic inches.

Trim wheel.

Never be afraid to go around. if you are not happy with something..go around.

One day you may not be able to lower your flaps for some reason.

From this moment you are a pilot. But you still have a lot to learn.

In this lecture we are doing a VFR flight from Kirkwall to Wick in Scotland and talking you through from take off to landing.

Testing out the VOR and the auto pilot on the Arrow.

Wind blows at different speeds at different altitudes and it changes too. This is how to asses your wind drift in flight using a VOR.

Had some sort of fail on landing causing the aircraft to skid off the runway to the right.

If you are happy now flying the PA 28 here is a small single engine jet that you can download for free and fly straight away. It is the De Havilland Vampire and it will do 400 knots.

Can a real PA 28 pilot land a 747 Jumbo? So long as the basic skills are there it should be possible.
