  • Thompson Falls To Bonners Ferry

    I had a viewer request to fly from Thompson Falls, MT (KTHM) to Bonners Ferry, ID (65S). So here it is. A fun flight, with changing weather along the way. The default XP11 airports for both strips were pretty spare, so I designed my own. If you’d like to download them you may find them under…

  • A Video Update (And Quick Night Hop Around KSLC)

  • Cross Country Simulator Practice

    In my real-world flight training I have a cross country coming up from KOQN to KMDT and back. A few mornings back I pulled out the charts, flight planner, and E6B flight computer and planned the flight using real-world weather, and then flew it in the sim with only paper charts and my flight log. Here’s…

  • Westward Ho! The PilotEdge Western Expansion (And Beta Test Flight Video)

    ,

    The PilotEdge Western Expansion goes LIVE tomorrow, December 27th. It’s going to be a fantastic addition to the service, with a remarkable expansion of the network’s the controlled airspace: I was fortunate to participate in the beta test of the expansion last week, and here’s a video I made of the flight. It’s a long one: KSLC…

  • Success On The X-Plane Screen Config

    ,

    At least darn close to it! The trick was to use Planemaker.exe to delete the cockpit objects. I’ll get it just right and then I’ll post a how-to. But I have to say, X-Plane 11 looks astonishingly good to me in the sim. I can’t believe it’s a beta.

  • How To Simulate A Forward Slip Landing

    ,

    Next in our “how to simulate” series, in which we bring real-world procedures to flight simmers (and which is generally tied to what I’m learning in my real-world flight training). In this video we simulate a forward slip approach to landing. Thanks for watching.

  • PilotEdge CAT-06 Rating

    ,

    Another PE CAT rating, the 06. In this rating we learn how to pick up ATC radar services prior to departure. This video is a bit different than the others in that it’s a night flight, and that I recorded pretty much the entire flight without edits from start to finish. As always, thanks for…

  • The CAT-05 Rating On PilotEdge

    ,

    Another CAT rating down, this one where you depart a Delta and get pick up radar services en route. I bonk on this one, running out of GoPro juice before arrival, but you’ll get the gist. Also note the nice stormy AS16/ASCA weather along the way. File this one under “flights I’d never make in…

  • Africa! Lagos To Akure

    I’ve had several requests for flights in Nigeria, so here one finally is. The original request was a bit long for me to complete in one siting, so here we fly from Lagos to Akure. I REALLY enjoyed this flight – even in the sim the scenery was interesting and unique. Along the way we…

  • The Basement Sim Tours Bonaire

    We check out the Aerosoft Flamingo Airport scenery (which is fantastic), and Basement Fly Kid comes along for the ride. As always, thanks for watching.
