Flight simulators are used to train new pilots because it is safest and cheapest. It allows students to learn from small and big mistakes, and to experience emergency situations without killing anyone.

Flight simulators are used to train new pilots because?

It is much cheaper (and safer) to let a fledgling pilot crash in a simulator than to crash a real plane while learning the nuances of flight.


Where can you find detailed step-by-step videos on how to dogfight World War II style in flight simulators like Wings of Prey?

The flight simulators of WW2 were very basic simulators that helped a student get the feel of flying. Some were used to teach pilots to operate at night to see if they would get disoriented. There were no combat simulators at all.The principal pilot trainer used during World War II was the Link Trainer. Some 10,000 were produced to train new pilots of allied nations, many in the USA and Canada because many pilots were trained in those countries before returning to Europe or the Pacific to fly combat missions.

How is a flight simulator used?

Its used in the training of pilots. Its normally preprogrammed with airport data, flights data including weather and potential failures that pilots may encounter. Sims can also be used by crash investors who input information from a down planes black box. This gives investigators a realistic view of what the aircrew and craft experienced 30 minutes to end of flight. In addition, new flight dynamics, functions and equipment are tested in simulators before going on to be used in the real world environment.


Are there any schools in Rhode Island where I can take a flight simulator training class at nights?

Flight simulators are only used for pilots who have existing licenses and normally only used by Commercial Airlines to keep their pilots up to date on the latest procedures. To earn a pilot's license you'll need several weeks of Ground School and then around 50-60 hours of flying time until you are allowed to fly solo. Simulator training alone will not get you a pilot's license.

Why do pilots use Metars before a flight?

A METAR is a format of weather reporting information and is used by pilots to fulfill part of their pre flight weather briefing. It is also used by meteorologists who use aggregated METAR information to assist in weather forecasting.

Why do two pilots have to throttle the plane?

In commercial flying, two pilots are used to control the throttles in crucial parts of flight (taxi, take off, and landing) so make sure the throttles are in the right place for these parts of flight
