Hmm, this is a tough question. The cheapest way to go is to buy a joystick w/ a grip that rotates to give you rudder. If you want to spend a little more, you can shop for something with rudder pedals. I'm not up to speed on the latest offerings. My recommendation is you search on ebay and look for a deal there. There are some good video reviews on equipment on youtube...

glad to help. good luck w/ your training!

You have to demonstrate competency in use of the autopilot, IF you have an operable one in the airplane. That means at least one approach using the autopilot, and anything more the DPE wants you to demonstrate (this depends heavily on the DPE's preferences). One Cirrus-flying friend of mine was asked to do 2 approaches with the autopilot on, and one hand-flying. Seth Lake discusses this topic in his videos, as he is a DPE his opinion will be right on point.

I haven't done my commercial yet, and am not sure if I have the drive to do it... though if I do, I'll definitely do a video.

haha, absolutely not.

See my pinned comment below. Airfoillabs stopped support for this airplane over 2 years ago, so any bugs it has now (and there are many) will never be fixed. I am using the stock 172 for the most part, as it is the most stable and bug-free 172 I've found. As for the "use experimental model", that can't hurt to try. However, I think this airplane is a bit of a lost cause, TBH.

@@flightlevel1803 thank you for your reply. for the "stock" plane do you personally use the "experimental model" or do you have it turned off? Thank you

@@maazrizwan5966 I personally do not use it most of the time... however I have used it at times.

@@flightlevel1803 thank you

Thanks, glad it helps. I have another similar video about the next step in the journey, should have it ready in the next couple weeks. Getting your PPL is a real challenge, but worth it!

Good question. F33a's could theoretically make 170 knots rich of peak EGT with an IO-520. These days at least half of the F33a's have been upgraded with IO-550s; with that engine 170 knots is more achievable, maybe even slightly lean of peak or at peak EGT. The v-tails are faster- a few knots b/c of the minimized empennage. The S35 is the fastest bonanza... with an IO 550 they can go well past 170 knots. As for the "the fastest place" to operate, That's around 8000-9000' for almost all normally aspirated airplanes. (for turbo charged airplanes, that's the low flight levels, but that's an entirely different ball of wax.) Always full throttle at those altitudes in cruise in an airplane with a constant speed prop- you tweak your engine's performance using mixture and RPM. In the debonair I fly I don't pull back from full throttle for the entire flight, until I am in descent and I am getting "too fast" to slow things down with mixture and RPM adjustments alone. Turbos can hit the 200kt mark in the low flight levels... Cirrus SR22s and a few others of the fast movers can hit 170 knots as well.

great comment. you can see the terrain at KTRK in the 3D foreflight view. That's gotta be a challenging airport w/ those elevations and the terrain...

XPlane 12 is the absolutely most realistic and high fidelity in terms of aerodynamics. If you care about the graphics of trucks on highways and golfers on courses get the gamer special (MSFS).

that's an interesting question, though i have no idea how to do it. Hopefully someone else here chimes in w/ ideas...

Great comments. It really is quite striking how different the real airplane "experience" is. Please report back when you get your training done.

By the way, my brain STILL has that "firing on all cylinders" feel when I'm in the pattern, even after hundreds of hours. It never feels routine, at least not yet.

@@flightlevel1803 reporting back lol! Just passed the checkride. I did end use my flight sim setup for training throughout once I got through my “beginning” phase. I used it to practice checklists , remembering clearing turns and maneuver procedures. Also practiced my cross countries with msfs since the terrain is so accurate. All in all I have found it actually is a great resource for training after you learn the basics of controlling the airplane

@@jmizzonini great job man. sounds like you "played it" perfectly! well done. You must be jacked. I published a "how to use flight sims for IFR training" video, check it out when you get to that point....

interesting comment. IMO, it depends what your goals are- if you want great graphics and photorealistic scenery, FS2020 is the best bet. But if you want the best flight modeling and the most accurate avionics, X-plane is far better. Personally I use a flight simulator primarily as an instrument training supplement, so x-plane is a better choice for my needs most of the time. Even the FS2020 developers talk about how little effort they made to make their sim be a true representation of reality. X-plane is amazingly accurate when it comes to instrument training. FS2020? not so much!

@@flightlevel1803 The scenery sucks, so bad, in X-Plane, it is worse than the old FSX, believe, me, I have a Honeycomb Yoke & throttle, and have everything tweaked, to achieve the most realistic flights, ever, my x-plane was only used 5 times, completely shitty sim.

@@saminaneen you must have some problems with your setup. I have a flying buddy that has similar serious problems with the Honeycomb interface to X-plane, I guess it is a general problem. X-plane is 1000x more realistic than the old FSX. It's all good, the new FS2020 is great if it works for you. I love the honeycomb products, they are so nice! Sounds like you have a good setup.

but i agree, the graphics aren't great, especially after you've sampled fs2020! given I am doing primarily instrument training and maneuver practice, it doesn't really matter to me tough- the realism is great w/ my setup.

Maybe fill in the details here? Would love to hear your insight.

both are really nice. the seating is very different in the two airplanes... the Mooney is more like a sports car w/ reclining seats, while the deb is more upright. It's a matter of preference.

@@flightlevel1803 I appreciate the response. I need to switch from online research to in person research.

Good point, thanks for pointing out and clarifying.

Love this comment, I think that's the perfect way to deal with landing there. We are lucky to have access to such a cool airport.

awesome! good job doing your homework before you go, smart! please report back on how the trip went, if you remember.

@@flightlevel1803 It was beautiful. We did the midfield crossing followed by a good landing in the morning sun. We took of from 21 with just below 10kt of tailwind and it worked out just fine. I didn‘t take any photos but definitely will remember this one! 🙏🏻

@@user-be5gq5xb3cawesome, glad to hear it! When I landed there 2 weeks ago, I had a newbie passenger and we did the route around the spires to the northwest of the airport... definitely a bit higher risk, but not unmanageable if the winds are down. We had a mid-size private jet take off from 21 before we landed, so we had to extend our downwind to give the vortices some time to subside before landing on 3. Really a gorgeous place to fly into.

@@flightlevel1803 I will have to check that one out as well!! Sounds really good! Where are you based?

The LED lights were already installed when purchased. Pretty awesome lighting on this airplane, it really lights things up.

@@flightlevel1803 what kind of lights are used there?

Glad to help. The simming does help an enormous amount. I flew with an instructor yesterday and he told me that I perfect certain things 5X faster than non-sim pilots in some areas. That's not everything, but certain aspects of working in the sim are enormously helpful. I'm planning a video on how to prepare for instrument training...

@flightlevel1803 thanks for the response .I live in 🇨🇦. Was starting to work on my RPP.signed up for an online course pilot's training. Ca got the books and on line course but find the whole thing over wellming. Figured at least try the simulators. Give me some kind of idea .at least your video was not holding nothing back thank you again

@@darylthompson5071it's definitely overwhelming at first. Just take it chunk by chunk, and slowly if you want. I started reading 2 years before I took my written exam, at a slow pace. It made it less stressful. Finding the right instructor will also help.

👍yes for sure. I went back after I hit the "stop" button and fixed it.

Glad you enjoyed it! I worry that the content is too dry for most people, but personally I loved digging into the details on various airplanes.

keep saving your pennies. it's worth it if you can make it happen.

October/November & February/March. The hot months are very windy and DAs are high. Generally it's ok all year round as long as you go very early to avoid the afternoon winds and the higher DAs. You could get snow or ice in those months though... but it's not very common at that altitude.

Don't threaten me with a good time!

My bad. see this link: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/39407-kgcn-vfr-tours/&_fromLogin=1 I added it to the video description as well. If you have foreflight, you can zoom in on the canyon, and corridors will appear (along with the restricted areas). It's pretty easy to map your own routes through the corridors. The altitudes and reporting points are visible on the chart. I flew a bonanza about 15 miles east of the Canyon on Thursday, it's pretty spectacular from the air.

@@flightlevel1803 I bet. That sounds really cool! Thanks for the link and happy flying!

Good catch. 👍

agreed. agreed on the panel being too dark as well.
