As a first time simmer, you’re changing my entire experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, and it’s all for the better. Knowledge makes this so much more enjoyable. Cheers
Totally agree. Been watching this channel for tips on setting up the game and I'm so glad I listened to him and did not choose the easy route for flying.
a rule of thumb for a 3 degree glide path to the runway, take current speed divide by half and add a (0) to the end of it. So 100kt/2= 50 add 0 you get 500fpm decent. Learned that from a pilot long ago.
This a fabulous tutorial series. Easily the best I've ever encountered, regardless of genre. I've been doing flight simulators for 30 years and I've never come close to learning so much before. Fun, comprehensive and calm. Each lesson is a delight.
I remember my instructor telling me basically the same thing about the relationship between the approach and the landing. He would often point out other planes on short final and their wonky approaches, and then have me watch their landing. Pretty much all resulted in bounces or off center line touch downs where the plane wasn't lined up with the runway causing some noticeable swerves. All good landings come from a nice stabilized approach. If the approach is unstable, the landing won't be good and might be dangerous. If the approach doesn't look or feel right, it's always better to do the go-around instead of trying to "save" the landing. And in real life never be embarrassed about doing a go around. Every good pilot recognizes it as a show of good judgement, which is a respectable thing. (But every pilot also judges every landing they watch! So make it nice by setting up a nice stable approach.)
Hei squirrel, I really like your videos, because they seem very helpful for beginners! Just a small addition from me: - When landing small planes you usally do this by initiating a stall, so the airplane settles itself down the runway (as you mentioned, just hold the airplane parallel to the runway and it will tell you when its going to land) - Something more advanced: when flaring, give it a little kick of left ruder (or release a bit of right ruder if its being kicked) to stop a reaction force which will pull you to the right when flaring
Love these tutorials, thanks so much for taking the time to do them! I'd really like to see a future tutorial on setting up all the different features of autopilot; FLC, FD, BANK, CRS, VS, APR, etc.. I'm not a pilot, and I figured out a few of the features through trial and catastrophic error, but several I just can't seem to make work. Thanks in advance!
You're welcome @@life-longpatriot8258 -- he's got a 74 video playlist for FSX that I'll be running through to get back into flight simming. The playlist is a bit dated (FSX), but the concepts are sound.
@@synaptik111 I see that, he's got a lot of interesting videos. I saw one on ILS that I want to watch, but I'm still sifting through them searching for the auto-pilot video (non-G1000 is what I'm looking for, although I'll be coming back for the G1000 tutorial later!).
Deep thanks for this tutorial series. What a thrill to rediscover the flight sim and finally (talking about 30 years…) understand what it’s all about. Respect for the sim and especially for you.
Keeping up with your tutorials. I'm learning a little something every time. Looking forward to the next one. My landings definitely need improvement. I'm curious to learn more about rudder/coordinated turns.
Real good instructions. As a DPM (Delta plane with motor) pilot I'm very pleased with your instructions. Now I'm able to virtual fly a "normal" plane in the Sim. Thank you very much.
For me, the most difficult part of learning approaches is knowing when to start the descent from cruise height. It would be awesome if you’d consider doing a tutorial on that in the future. Thanks for another awesome video, very glad I found your channel.
Really cant thank you enough for doing this series. I cant even begin to tell you how much Ive progressed over the last few weeks from watching them. I have flown a few hours IRL, but didnt get any of the understanding Ive gotten from this series. Thanks again! Looking forward to future videos!
Frankly, this has to be the best landing tutorial ever. Landings have always been a struggle for me in GA sims and with this one video and a little bit of time spent, the improvement in my landings has been incredible. Making sure I pitch for speed first and foremost and then dealing with the proper fpm with the throttle has really changed things. Thank you for this.
Would be amazing if after you're done with this video series you moved onto things like ILS approaches and auto pilot systems for different aircraft! thank you so much for this series, it is the best I have found so far. Can you recommmend any free versions of things like Navigraph to enhance experience?
One word: amazing!!! How you can explain so clear and what the lessons in flight simulator won't ever be able to do. I am done with the lessons and am looking for more, meanwhile, I am struggling with trimming, it's getting better but with my simple controls, I still find it not fast enough and wobbling too much.
Excellent tutorial indeed, clear and to the point makes it easy to comprehend. With that said, I still watched this many times, I like it that much. Thank you for your knowledge, time, and effort. Please keep making flight videos.
I really hope you get some sort of sponsorship from Microsoft because you are the sole reason why I've decided to purchase the new 2020 version after using FSX for around 12 years. Your videos are so informative and show the true gameplay.
Outstanding tutorial on landing, I've re watched this a few times while trying to nail landings, could not imagine how it could be done any better, this should be incorporated into MSFS training. Thankyou so much Mr Squirrel.
@@albertkamradek261 depends on the plane obviously. Select an altitude with the altitude knob. Choose the method to get there, typically VS (where you define the vertical speed to climb/descent) or FLC (where you define the airspeed you want to climb/descent). Auto throttle is only available in the big liner planes. To make it do turn and follow a specific path, you would need to create flight plans, then activate it, and click on the NAV button with the AP engaged.
Perhaps the value of a video as a learning tool is the number of views.i watched this 8 times the a further 6 times in conjunction with flying the sim. I can say this has “Finally” given the knowledge to set up the approach and land smoothly consistently (after many years of trying) so many thanks. K
I've taken what i've learnt so far BEFORE this tutorial, and done the best landing so far (well less bumps, and controlled speed!). Cant wait for this tutorial :).
Great series. I havnt flown that much in flight sims, but I have watched alot of hours. But this clip made me understand my mistakes from the few times I have flown, mostly piching down without keeping an eye on the airspeed and being too eager to land.
Hello from France. Many thanks for this episode 8, but also for the previous ones of course. I'm back to flight simulation with FS2020, and I appreciate your tutorials, they help me to find the good habits, the good practices. As I fly with the Cessna 152, it's perfect. I continue to follow you. Thanks again.
I have been using flight simulators since 2002 and know all this stuff. However, I am really enjoying these tutorials for what can be learned about the features of the new simulator. Thanks!
Calm voice, structured content, en point... One of the best tutorial videos if seen here. At some point i was suddenly scared I would get charged for the flying lesson as it is really immersive to fly with you! 💙
Thank you very much for these tutorials. Binge watched your videos today. Outstanding my friend. Perfect ratio of explanation and theory. Best resource I have found so far on how to fly. Thank you for taking the time to produce these tutorials. Thank you 🤘🏻
Thank you, mister Squirrel, for putting so much effort into these very professional tutorials. They completely transform the experience of the g... SIM, and I hope for many more to come. Thumbs up!
Your turorials are absolutely amazing, packed full of vital information. I bought MS Flight Sim and immediately was able to fly the cessna and land it having watched your videos.
These videos are amazing Squirrel, I'm getting so much joy from watching them. The flight concepts make so much sense when you explain them and it makes flying in the simulator a lot more fun when you try to do it "properly".
Hi Squirrel. For a newbie flight simmer, this was a terrific guide to help me stop bouncing my landings. I have found that the guides MSFS gives and landing paths want you to go to slow. I tend to lose the control as you discuss early on in the video. This should help a lot. Thank you and stay well.
Hi Squirrel, just wanted to let you know, as a new simmer to the flight simulation community, you are by far the best flight instructor i have come across. Thanks for your training and awesome insight Just want you to know Thanks
thanks for pointing out the lack of control authority at low airspeeds. a very useful tip, which like all the best advice is obvious in hindsight. nice set of guides, btw!
i tried it today and the approach was different during the night landing, but your 60kts tip was good for this new approach also. i tried to be at or around 60 kts during approach and landing and it was smooth. btw, i dont have controls so i did this with keyboard alone and it still worked.
Thank God I found this channel. I mean that in all sincerity. Loving it. These vids have helped me do SO MUCH MORE than the game itself ever manages to feel like it's even trying to do, & I'm thankful for it.
thank you for this, ive been having a rough time with landings and also swapping planes too often. I'm now sticking to a single plane to get it right, then start getting accustomed to other planes' parameters one at a time
Brilliant, concise, expert tuition! Without these tutorials, and in absence of a proper MS manual, we’d still be trying to fathom out by experiment... Brilliant: thanks ever so!!!
Your instructional vids are worth their weight in gold Squirrel. I dont have FS yet, Covid has me in a situation I relate to being dug in and wired with OHP. I,m looking fwd to getting back into the air a bit, even though only sim. Too old and too broken to do it for real... and was only a spanner swinger anyway, just cx'd collective, pitch, roll and yaw for a few hours on long trips. Keep up the good work. Red 2
I had to go round twice but third time I managed a good landing. All the way in on final approach at 60 knots.Still glad I've got a smal laircraft and it's a very long runway though!! Your videos have greatly increased my enjoyment of Flight Sim.Thankyou. I have realised that I have to look outside the 'game' and do things for myself such as calculating in my head the descent rate and speed required once I know the distance to the runway. I think today is the day I morphed from being a 'gamer' into a flight simmer! Right! Now I'm going back to do it again maybe at night this time.
Great vid, Squirrel. It’s hard for people to get that the yoke controls your airspeed and the throttle controls your rate of descent. You make it simple.
@ Squirrel, Your tutorial's are top notch mate, I wish we had these in the old FSX day's! Keep em coming mate, I'm an OKish sim pilot but i love to watch these, You must be seriously helping out a load of new folk's that have just bought this sim and want to get into it?
Thanks for the great tutorial. It would be great to learn more about the instruments that have not been touched so far - the 2 right instruments in the left sector, and the one next to the rev counter.
Thank you for the tutorials. They have helped me fall in love with flight simulator. I appreciate the professionalism and quality. Being able to learn about all of this in such an effective manner has really helped me get the hang of it and I have zero experience. Thanks again
Really, really great lesson! Nicely done! As a real world pilot (almost holding my PPL license in his hand) I can say: that's the way to land. Great. One thing! You should mention the point 'that's not moving'. And it should not be the runway numbers but a couple of feet before. THEN you're gonna nail that landing and touch down AT the numbers: the best landing.
Will you be able to do another video with an engine out landing? I would imagine that with no motor to drag you through the air you would use a totally different flap setting and such. Really hoping you continue this instructional series, I do enjoy watching them. Thanks for all the work.
These tutorials are amazing. I appreciate the effort you put into all of this as it is invaluable to people such as myself that are new to flying! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
This is the best video, ever seen, explaining how to land a Cessna 152. Thank you. Where do you find the minimum airspeed, for a landing, for a Cessna 172 or any other aircraft in flight simulator. Can you find this in FS2020?
So nostalgic! I remember my first flying lessons back in the nineties and my instructor who taught me how to switch the joke to the throttle and vice versa when making the approach. And of corse it was all done in a C-152! 👍🏻❤️🇸🇪
I'm learning to fly for real and this is accurate to what I have picked up from my instruction so far and very useful thanks. I will go through this again in detail and I'm sure it will help me a lot
Superb tuition - natural born teacher - thanks so much, looking forward all the time to more. Watching seagulls land on chimney pots in the wind - they must also have done your tutorials!
Watched all your tutorials to date on fs 2020 find them really useful,you put yourself and what your explaining across brilliantly keep up the great work
In the approach, keep the runway in the same relative position in the windshield view, ie not moving up or down in your view. You’ll land successfully if all the other settings are correct.
I love these tutorials squirrel, even as an experienced sim gamer it's good to go back to the basics :) if you could though, could you do a video on navigation please? It's not covered at all by the in-game tutorials and I have no idea how to navigate beyond using the magic sky markers or just following a road I know from real life. Thanks!
As a first time simmer, you’re changing my entire experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, and it’s all for the better. Knowledge makes this so much more enjoyable. Cheers

You took your time! I’ve been up in the air for the past week waiting for this tutorial!
I just came here to make this exact comment. Take your upvote!
A week in the air waiting to land? Lucky you had plenty of fuel on board waiting for Squirrels' tutorial! Best wishes from NZCH, and stay well.
ahahah
i really like this comment pretty funny one :D ;)
lol good one

“Shoot every approach to the go around; a landing is a bonus”
During my pilot training, I learned to "PAT it down" Power, Attitude, Trim - in that order to descend. Great video - thanks for sharing!

Easily the best MSFS Instructor on RUclips. I feel myself getting a little better with each tutorial.
that's actually really really insightful. good job. love this kind of tutorials
I hugly admire your tutorials: You don't just explain the technique, you also teach a true pilot's attitude! At least I already feel like one... :-)
Deep thanks for this tutorial series. What a thrill to rediscover the flight sim and finally (talking about 30 years…) understand what it’s all about. Respect for the sim and especially for you.
Keeping up with your tutorials. I'm learning a little something every time. Looking forward to the next one.
My landings definitely need improvement.
I'm curious to learn more about rudder/coordinated turns.
keep the slip and turn indicator centered with the rudder. also look up crabbing when landing, used during heavy cross wind landings.

Watched all your tutorials to date on fs 2020 find them really useful,you put yourself and what your explaining across brilliantly keep up the great work
This was one of the most useful videos yet. Thanks and keep up the good work.
great video. I now find myself repeating pitch for speed, throttle for verticle speed when i get into those situations.
I watched this as I made my first approach to an airport on my first flight. Landed that Cessna on my first attempt! Thanks! Well done!
In the approach, keep the runway in the same relative position in the windshield view, ie not moving up or down in your view. You’ll land successfully if all the other settings are correct.
Next video, maybe mention the "Visual approach slope indicator" (white/red lights that show you if your angle is correct).
These are great. Could you do one on taking off and landing a pattern and perhaps in that one entering the pattern?
I love these tutorials squirrel, even as an experienced sim gamer it's good to go back to the basics :) if you could though, could you do a video on navigation please? It's not covered at all by the in-game tutorials and I have no idea how to navigate beyond using the magic sky markers or just following a road I know from real life. Thanks!
great tutorial. im new to flight simulator and was having trouble landing with the cesna tutorial.
