I try to most times. I also try doing flight test sorties taking data and determining the various numbers of the aircraft...a nice thing about FS9/FSX is you are not sure HOW accurate a plane's flight model is....or its systems...so I try to always switch between planes trying to evaluate their authenticity, determine the V speeds, etc.

Gives me an immediate way to apply and practice aero engineering concepts at low cost!
