4. Play the tutorial video. You or you and your partner can pause the video and
recreate the maneuvers using the Fly To Learn Powered by X-Plane software or
practice after the video ends. Below is a summary of the steps.
a. Select Aircraft, General Aviation, Cesena 172 SP, and then Open.
b. Select Location, Global Airport, and then search Colorado Spring
Municipal Airport. Select RWY 35R 10 NM.
c. Pause the simulation with button 2 on the joystick.
ii. Attitude Indicator. It tells us our position in roll, pitch, and yaw in
relation to the horizon and flight path. Change the roll, pitch, and
yaw while watching the attitude indicator.
iv. Turn and Slip Indicator. It displays the rate of turn and the slip of a
turn. Rate of turn indicates how fast the airplane is turning direction.
A perfectly coordinated turn has no slip, and passengers will not
feel that they are turning. Slip is when the airplane is moving
through the air sideways. Turn with different amounts of roll and
yaw and watch the turn and slip indicator.
5. Explore the terrain while using your instruments in the cockpit. Use visual
references, like mountains, as well as instruments when you are flying. In
Colorado springs the mountains will be to the west. Use these instruments to try
to maintain straight and level flight.
6. Try to hold a constant altitude, airspeed, and heading. When you are able to
maintain straight and level flight, move on to the next instructional resource.
Conclusion
1. What errors did you make during this flight?
2. What could you do to avoid these mistake(s)?
