GA Flight School

Postby Peanut1234 » Thu Dec 28, 2006 2:31 am

Hey guys,

I was thinking about starting a Virtual Flight School for FSX, taking advantage of the new "Shared Cockpit" abilities. It would include all of the usual flights, from the first flight to the solo. I was thinking of starting with a few planes, but slowly expanding the list. My list so far includes:

AirCreation 582SL Ultralight

Cessna 172

Cessna 208 (Possible)

DG Flugzeugbau DG-808S Glider

DeHavilland Beaver (Possible)

Douglas DC-3 (Possible)

Mooney Bravo (Possible)

The ones listed as (Possible) are the ones that I am considering to include. The DC-3 is as big as I'd like to get. The ones not listed at (Possible) are the ones that will be there in the beginning. I am not home right now, but once I get home I will start working on it. If you would like to join, or want to help out as an Instructor Pilot or anything else, PM me or post here ;).

I'm quite happy to help out instructing.  I could teach basic flight skills on the Ultralight if you want me to.  Also, the Mooney Bravo would be good for ILS instruction, which I am capable at.  
I hope I can be of some help,
Cheers,

Hey guys,

I am so glad to see that all of you are interested in making this work :). Our home field is LFHO in France. It is in a nice flat, open area that is perfect for glider training, or any training for that matter.

Alright boys, here is the lineup we have so far:

AirCreation 582SL Ultralight-Peanut1234-Basic Flight Skills

Cessna 172-mictheslik-Advanced Flight Skills

Cessna 208-Mees-Short Runway Skills

DG Flugzeugbau DG-808S Glider-sgt. donut-Gliding Skills

DeHavilland Beaver (No water in the area)

Baron 58-(Open)-Basic Twin Engine Flight Skills

Douglas DC-3-Blue Man-Advanced Twin Engine Flight Skills

Mooney Bravo-kingmarktheaviator-Basic ILS Skills

This is as many planes as I would like to have in the Club. Now, if there is more than one student interested in taking a class, we can have more pilots join up to add more than one of the same plane to the fleet :).

I know how to make a flight plan and follow it with GPS and how to use autopilot (i think) but i want to be able to use the horizontal situation indicator to follow a flight plan withought having the gps open.  Ive gotten it to work a few times but when i do the same thing in another flight the hsi doesnt direct me on the flight plan.  can someone help?
