i can fly all the aircraft's so professionally on flight simulator will it help me when i fly a real one?

Answer 1

Not really,

Like driving a car there are two parts to learning to fly.

1) Knowing what to do.
You probably know this.

2) Learning what to do.
You probably need to know more on this.

Part of learning any new skill is getting your brain to process what is going on around you differently.
Without this feedback you are not really learning to fly.

For instance if you are flying really close to the ground in a simulator (unless it is a real commercial sim) if you pull up the nose the aircraft will probably climb.
In a real aircraft to pull up quickly you would probably increase the throttle to get more lift first or take up the undercarraige (if it is down)

You have to learn this kind of thing, also many aircraft have banking limits and operational limits that are not represented in average simulators. The sim may represent the cockpit/controls but not the actual behaviour of the aircraft.

What you need is hours of flight training.

Good luck !

Answer 3

No training simulator will ever provide a real life situation, for example, there is the 300 tons plus weight of an aircraft in flight to contend with, that can not be replicated through any "Force Feedback" joystick, so without going on and on, no simulations are good for navigation I suppose, thats it.

Answer 4

Yes, the MS flight simulator is a good place to practice procedures like following checklist and learn performance limits. It can HELP you, but the very best way is experience with an instructor. As far as full motion simulators, new airline pilots only train in simulators until they are ready. Their first real flight is a revenue flight. Full motion simulators can make any veteran pilot sick. They are under FAA regulation and time spent training in one can be logged.

Answer 5

Yes, it's great supplemental training for your mind. It alone, will not make you a great pilot, and you will need actual practice to get a good feel for it.
Take all the lessons if you have MS FS, so that you will have an understanding of flying by instruments. This will give you a head start, but will not be substitute for actual flying in a real plane.

Good Luck!

Check out what Rod Machado has to say:


Dear Rod:
I have just started on my instrument rating and find it very challenging. Do you have any words of wisdom that you could pass on to me? I only have around 75 hours at this point and try to fly at least 1-2 times a week.
Thanks,
Darwin

Greeting Darwin:
Yes. Purchase instrument simulation software for your computer (assuming, of course, that you have a computer. After all, it’s very difficult to run this software on a kitchen appliance). You’ll benefit enormously from this purchase since you’ll be able to increase your instrument proficiency between lessons. You’ll also find it useful for maintaining your proficiency after you obtain the rating. What brand of software? Any of the major brands are just fine. But if it allows you to chase Klingons back to their homeworld, this probably isn’t the caliber of software you’re looking for.

Answer 6

Nope!
I am a professional fixed wing pilot and I fly the Goodyear blimp perfectly on MS flight sim. I assure you that if I fly it for real, I will knock down some buildings, squash cars, crush my ground crew and perfrom a reenactment of the Hindenburg. Im my town some teenager studied everything their is to know about choppers and was a master at a chopper simulator. One night he decided to rip one off at a local airport, he got as far as turning it on then he ground looped. Goes to show that you need the actual machine to be competent.

Answer 7

I believe that some aspects of the sim are used as training material
HOWEVER, no one learns to fly on a computer only.
There is no substitute for actual training with a live instructor. People spend countless hours learning this craft and anytime real peoples lives are at stake, including your own, you should not look to take the easy way out. Keep flying the sim, it's great fun, but if you want to be a real pilot get the real training.

Answer 9

You should be hopeful that it's one of practices fot real pilots on the ground , cause flight simulator espcially Microsoft FS is very near to a real flight and it's a training software for pilot students that should fly up to 50h for catching Private Pilot License (P.P.L) in many countries , but it's necessary to train with a real a/c to be a real pilot ;) you know ... ?! :D

Answer 10

If you have become proficient with all the aircraft controls in take off and landing, you will do better than you think, But there is still lots to learn.
