Practicing Instrument Only Flight in the Cessna 152 in Microsoft Flight Simulator

[@Rodhern]

01:30 So easy to to. I didn't notice at all until you corrected it. Maybe in the back of your mind, like me, you were thinking that it allows fuel to get to the mixture control, so it does kind of "turn on the mixture".

[@jonbeckett]

Instrument practice exercises begin at 07:03 :)

[@localizer363]

Good job Jon. I would recommend that you also perform "unusual attitude recovery" under the hood. It's a good next step for what you practiced today.

[@jonbeckett]

Good idea :)

I am glad you are sharing this. Bravo

[@jonbeckett]

I'm glad you like it

[@AlanRoseAtLeisure]

Thank you. I am just starting out in MSFS and it was most helpful.

[@ognir66]

Those things were called "foggles" back when I was training

Great video 👍

[@jonbeckett]

Thanks 👍

Great presentation. Thanks

I got my PPL at Wycombe Air Park in a 152 G-LSMI, many years ago, and remember 'flying under the hood' well, including the part that's supposed to demonstrate how you 'continue to turn' because of inner ear motion. You don't if you have practised a huge amount on a simulator and just use the instruments 🙂. Circuit height was 1000' on the QFE. Guess you skipped the AFIS/ATC bit.

[@jonbeckett]

Yep - I'm keeping the videos short - otherwise it gets really boring really quickly. Just showing one exercise per video. Thanks for the feedback!

[@peteduncan-um4kx]

I know there's no flying busses up there but at least lookout every couple of minutes or get radar!👌

Basic 101 nice

[@AndreasMake]

Whats your PC specs? looks quite smooth grapics.

[@juanwhick1691]

Are you using the freeware enhanced version or the asobo version? Having issue where my VOR1 and 2 gauges just say vloc but I’m able to get to and from to show and the horizontal and vertical sticks moving.

[@jonbeckett]

This is stock. The enhanced one that everybody went mad about is full of bugs :)

[@juanwhick1691]

@@jonbeckett I feel it. I mean everything else is fine except for the whole stuck on vloc.

[@mikecoffee100]

number 1 is not to chase the VSI otherwise carry on

[@nick-dm3if]

Lol that plane starts with the fuel off and mixture fully out its so stupid.

[@Bigbaz-bj8io]

How will I know I’m going 65 knots it’s so hard this game

[@isaaclyons9705]

The top left instrument is the airspeed indicator, if you zoom into it you can see it better. Just hold the needle in between 60 and 70, if your airspeed is too fast, pitch up to lower it.

[@Bigbaz-bj8io]

Where is knots on the Cessna I’m trying to do it but which one is knots

[@jonbeckett]

Top left dial is "indicated airspeed"

[@Bigbaz-bj8io]

@@jonbeckett thank you

[@Bigbaz-bj8io]

@@jonbeckett is that on the Cessna is beginners flight learning thanks

[@whatthesigmaW]

Do you know how to use the zoom feature?

[@Bigbaz-bj8io]

@@whatthesigmaW no not on Xbox , I find it pretty complicated tbh ..
