@floatpool 😳😳

The most critical and important phase of any CAT 1 ILS is the LAST 200 feet. Aircraft have continued at DH on GS, only to land short. Remember, you don't have to have the runway in sight to continue at DH. The callout to yourself at DH with only the approach lights in sight is "continue". Not "land". Did you know there is another "DH" at 100 feet above the TDZE? You need the red terminating or red side row lights in sight to continue. If the airport doesn't have the red lights, you need to have the runway in sight at 100 TDZE. So...teach yourself to go back and forth between visual outside and the instruments below 200 feet. Outside, inside, outside, inside, etc. This will keep you on glideslope to the runway (notice how you went below GS after DH on your approach? Back and forth to the instruments would have prevented this) and, just as important, you won't have to waste precious seconds transitioning from visual back to the gauges. By going back and forth, your brain is already there. A wind gust blew snow to zero vis when I was below 100 feet on an ILS once, and my missed approach was uneventful because I was already on the gauges. Use this technique on all of your approaches. Especially at minimums. Circling at minimums is strictly a visual maneuver. But, constantly monitoring your altitude, AS, bank, etc, makes a possibmiss on a circle so much easier. Going IMC and having to reorient back to instruments creates a delay similar to recovering from unusual attitudes. It takes a few seconds. Just a tip. FWIW..

That's a beautiful setup! Now do it some justice--throw out that rickety card table and build a nice, solid wood desk/table/frame to mount it on. I would find it very distracting that the table is wobbling as you are using the flight controls (unless you're going for simulated turbulence).

Nice build ...I built my first cockpit(plywood duct tape and glue and pvc pipe)... over 40 years ago I had an Atari II or Comadore 64 (floppy disk).computer Flight Simulator II.....it was funky ...but it helped me to get my pilots licence!!!... I never looked back......

This is such a nice panel it's FRUSTRATING (because I don't have it.) I've spent a lot of time researching what components get you the best bang for the buck and I believe this panel has nailed it in every instance, except 2 minor ones. Minor in cost, but not minor in improvement, that is. So, NOT in the spirit of chasing perfection, because that's a never ending fools errand... BUT... in the interest of creating as realistic experience as possible to flying a real airplane; I believe there are 2 upgrades you could make that would make the most dramatic increase in realism for a smallish cost. CHANGE 1: Replace the Saitek Cessna yoke with the Honeycomb yoke. Every review I've seen suggests that the Honeycomb scores '7' or '8' for realism (compared to the Redbird or Yoko, etc), with a '3' price-point. CHANGE 2: Replace the iPad with the following combination: touchscreen monitor ($200 or less), Knobster ($100ish), and drive the monitor with a laptop running Air Manager ($65). I'll assume you have a laptop available and don't need to buy one. The Air Manager program allows you to integrate the Knobster with XPlane. Unfortunately, there is an iOS version of Air Manager, but it can NOT control the Knobster. the Knobster allows you to have an actual PHYSICAL knob (inner & outer controls, like on a Garmin 530) for literally every single control that has such a button. For example, want to change your heading bug? Tap that control on the screen, but then actually make the change with Knobster. The tactile difference isn't just more accurate, it's more like the real thing so that the coordination between brain, eye, and hand, remain as close to the real thing as possible. Just my 2 cents. Please check those 2 changes out and let me know what you think. For Austin Meyer's (creator of X-Plane) review of the Honeycomb, here's the link.... kzread.info/dash/bejne/c6Cfqspyqs_eec4.html

Super addition for training!

Just happened to see this video. Great job. During lockdown here I continue to train using Skype screen sharing. Great to see distance training and affordable home simulation being promoted. HARDWARE COMPARISON - I use a 60" LED TV and similar gear. Gives the full Cessna 6 pack panel on screen and LIFE SIZE to boot. Except... I invested in a YOKO yoke from Virtual Fly and MFG rudders. My CFI/CFII rated realism at 8+ out of 10, discounted only because no G forces. Can't do better. I also hang a TrackIR 5 send/receive detector on my big screen using dental floss, high enough for zero visual interference in flight. In one lesson, where I became task saturated, caused me to break out in a sweat and I was not breathing. Needed a 15 minute break after landing to recover. I have AirManager on a separate touch screen just at my right side. So I have 2 VOR's / ADF / COM/NAV x 2 / DME and the Knobster device for input. So my AirManager matches the X-Plane C172 very closely. Last thought... get the Desktop Aviation Flap Switch!

Hello sir, thank you for posting this video, nicely done! I know costs are very subjective, but a list of the components you put together for your sim package, with just nominal costs would really help start the planning process for myself, and perhaps others. I think of doing something like this, but then think of the cost in terms of actual flying hours "lost out on" and hesitate to move forward. Looking forward to more videos!

Hi Chris, Hope you are well. Always have appreciated your insights, all the way back from the audio podcast days.

If so, you may find that if you lower it, you will experience a little more comfort mate. It seems like you have the room go lower in on the wall behind the panel. Anyway brother, wishing you and your family well in the Great North, and ongoing growth and success in your business endeavours Chris. From you namesake in Sydney, Australia, Chris

I once worked for a company that wanted to simulate a Lear Jet. They had taken pictures of the inside of a Lear Jet cockpit and reproduced it out of wood with a cut out for each instrument. Then they lined up all the instruments on one large TV screen with the cutouts of wood and you could only see one indicator through its cutout. A cheap way of making a Lear Jet simulator.

if you use auto pilot on a long flight do you gain altitude because it keeps you level or does it constantly push forward on the stick to compensate for the curvature?

@positivrteaviation5044

It keeps your altitude if you select alt mode. If selected vs mode, you will be able to control the aircrafts pitch with up and down buttons.

Now what I want to see is to combine the real panels with VR immersion. Where you can reach out and manipulate the real panels but feel and see in VR.

anywhere to plug in your headset to talk to atc?

Greetings from Costa Rica what a quality team

You should teach to keep a hand on the throttle and the other on the wheel. Sim or real thing it's best to stick to good habits. Even on airliners, one hand on the power and the other on the wheel or control stick. Great training aid.

Awesome video but I am kinda stuck inside (Quarantine, not sick) and probably going to get creative with some monitors and X-Plane 9 (its what I got) and do some flying.

Way cool I am thinking about setting up a home simulator

Definitely a great immersion style of training perhaps 1 on 1 with instructor in a room at FBO etc, but If I might add.... If you are a youtuber this style of sim does not show flight deck instruments up close (other than different external camera views, PITA to edit) which seems to defeat the purpose of youtube training or video training. I feel the same about VR for youtubers as well. It is very hard and almost nauseating to watch VR flight sim training on youtube. Too much head movement. What is your take? Personally, I am not sure how important "location" of instruments externally is, if you can see them on the screen, These things are mandatory, external GNS430/530 and 1 external nav com2, and external autopilot. Throttles Cessna 182 style. Good rudders, I use TPR thrustmaster (great). I love the trim wheel. How accurate is it with no feel in yoke? Brunner has force feed back yoke $1500. Twisting for frequencies is PITA with mouse or hotkey. It is a matter of taste I guess. I youtube and you are real world instructor so definitely this is better for you. Good Luck!
