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.

Same, I downloaded it on series x yesterday and found his channel while looking for tips. ☺👍

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.

10:27 “Shoot every approach to the go around; a landing is a bonus”

You took your time! I’ve been up in the air for the past week waiting for this tutorial!

lol good one

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.)

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.

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.

During my pilot training, I learned to "PAT it down" Power, Attitude, Trim - in that order to descend. Great video - thanks for sharing!

that's actually really really insightful. good job. love this kind of tutorials

My girlfriend asked why I looked up "Flying Squirrel Tutorial". So I had her watch this video with me.

Absolutely loving these. Thank you! Picked this up as my first flight sim. Getting better and having a hoot learning!

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".

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... :-)

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!

I have been waiting so long for this my man. You are the best!

What a sim this is, fell back in love recently and i forgot just how good it is, great explanation too!

I doubt there is a better landing tutorial in all of KZread. Thanks.

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.

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.

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, 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!

Great series so far. I'm absolutely loving it

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!

Amazing tutorial series - excited to see where they go. Great work Squirrel.

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.

Sitting here whole day waiting for the download to finish and watching your videos. I can't wait to start!

Love these tutorials, please keep them coming 👍

This was one of the most useful videos yet. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Easily the best MSFS Instructor on KZread. I feel myself getting a little better with each tutorial.

Mate this was awesome to watch! thanks for the video

Thanks for tutoring Squirrel! I absolutely love this series of yours.

This series is awesome! MOAR

Love the tutorials! They are very clearly explained and definitely informative to make me a better sim pilot. Thanks and please keep them coming!

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.

Always look forward to these videos--keep it up!

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 🤘🏻

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.

Cracking tutorial. Top work Squirrel. Really useful. 👍

Been waiting! Very helpful man keep it up!

Perfect tutorial - and quite brilliant series of videos. Thank you!

What an amazing and knowledge rich tutorial. This is it. I'm going to learn flight sim flying from your channel. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the detailed and helpful tutorial. This greatly enhances my training and enjoyment of MSFS.

Squirrel thanks so much for putting these videos together they have been very helpful. Awesome job doing this for the rest of us. Happy flying!!!

Awesome, I want to improve my landings, this tutorial come at the perfect time, thanks a lot ! 👍

These tutorials are fantastic. Informative, entertaining and educational. Great job.

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 really appreciate the time you are putting into these tutorial videos, they are helping me so much and maximising my MFS experience

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

Great tutorial. thanks for taking the time to make this and share it.

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.

Really great set of tutorials , my flying has greatly improved thanks to them. Thanks!!

Loving these tutorials. I'm playing a round a little but waiting for VR to release before jumping in full throttle, so to speak. Thanks Squirrel.

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.

I've seen a lot of landing instruction videos but this one has got to be the best one so far.

Best video I have come across for basics of landing. Thanks

Another very good tutorial to practice my landings, looking forward to the next tutorials!

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

Great tutorials Squirrel -- Thanks for doing them. I'm getting back into FS after about a 5 year layoff and these are very helpful wrt getting the rust off!

Thank you for all the tutorials, I notice a great improvement by myself, great job !!!!

You are the best TEACHER we can get on here. Great job, cheers from Romania!

Thank you. Hats off. Never had so much respect for a KZreadr. Thank you. You are just amazing sir.

You are my hero! A very detailed information and a very good instructor! Kudos to you Squirrel! Thank you so much for your tutorials! :)

Excellent!!! Just freaking smashingly excellent! Subbed!

These training videos are AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for providing such great information!!!

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.

Fantastic tutorial! You've made it so much easier to figure out how to stick a good landing.

It's a great joy to listen to you, Sir! Thanks for the lesson.

These videos are Golden! Keep it up!

@@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.

You help me so much. Thanks a million for your tutorials! Keep up the fantastic work!

there's tremendous value in these tutorials! thank you!

Mate your videos are so great, they really put the fundamentals of flight so easy to understand I love this so much. Thank you!!!

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?

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!

The best video explaining the relationship between variables during landing. Thank you very much.

This is some serious knowledge being shared around for absolutely nothing. Forever grateful buddie! Thank you. Happy flying!!!! New sub too.

A very thorough tutorial, sir. Good job!

Very useful! Thanks for the great tutorial!

Thanks for making it fun to land and not a guessing game... Explained beautifully, and KRNT sure is a great place to fly around!

Keep grinding! Appreciate the daily vids

Awesome video - going to save this to revisit

Such simple information and I never knew. These tutorials are awesome. I'm really learning how to fly the cessna.

I already learned so much from you! Thank you for sharing.

You're getting these out more quickly than i can keep up with!!

Excellent tutorial series Thank you , may it continue :)

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! 👍🏻❤️🇸🇪

Great video! So helpful!

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

really enjoy the way you describe things.. thanky ou for these videos!

Awesome. Thank you for this!

you are doing a fantastic job with these videos, keep up the great work

Brilliant. Im a ppl from coventry airport and that was a perfect description/tuition on landings. Well done 👍

12:50 PURE BUTTER.

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

Thank you for the video, this is a really awesome guide :)

That was the best tutorial yet. Keep them coming.

Thanks man. I like how you teach. very easy to follow. You got a new sub

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

Thanks... this helped a lot. Great advice and good video.
