Alpha Hotel Flight Simulator Training
Alpha Hotel Flight Simulator Training
Welcome to Alpha Hotel Flight Simulator Training.
This channel features training videos to help you learn how to fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. We'll start with the basics of how to fly, and move on to more advanced techniques and equipment as the channel progresses.
My goal to is to produced detailed, "study level" training videos to help you get the best training possible to enjoy the sim. I try to orient the training so it is grounded with real world techniques and procedures, but with an emphasis on how things really work in Flight Simulator.
I am a real world professional pilot and instructor - and I aim to use my years of flying experience in my instruction. I have also been a flight simulator enthusiast since the early days of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and hope I can help everyone who is interested enjoy this hobby as much as I do.
All that being said, this channel is for entertainment purposes only - it should not be construed as actual flight training.

Hi. Thank you for you video. Is there any way to have the working title gns 530/430 in the dc3 duckwors mode instead the Asobo one?
Nice 👍 Your channel is superb.
Great as always!
how to get c172 classic on fs2020 ?
There are acutally speed limits for aircraft too! Below 10.000ft airvraft are not to exceed 250 knts groundspeed. Also to the sonic boom, here in germany we sometimes have news coverage about one or more state hearing one or multiple incredibly loud explosion noises, which usually turn out to just be eurofighter taking off to intercept radioless aircraft entering german airspace!
I was wondering if you could offer advice on how to setup and fly a visual approach to a specific runway in the GTN750?. How to setup the descend and etc. Thank you in advance!
I love it!
You mean an intense feeling of relief? :p
Great Video! Thank You!
Well made detailed video. Thank you, sir !
How do you get it to replay?
How do you access replay? 23:17
I am loving those lessons, your level of detail is very supporting for those who wants to continuously learn with the sim
47:58. I understand it’s good practice to set heading bug to the final runway heading but does the plane need this to maintain approach course if AP is in appr mode on an LPV approach ? If it does, what happens in a crosswind; do you have to keep adjusting the heading?
Maybe a stupid question, but do the simulator base the satelite data on real life satelites? Does it have live data of where satlites are positioned currently, similar to live traffic and weather?
Very helpful. Thanks!
Exactly what I have been looking for, thanks very much for creating this outstanding content! I lived in Little Rock from 1996 - 2005. When I was in Arkansas I knew someone who was learning to fly and he was taking lessons in the Pine Bluff area. The Pine Bluff airport looks like a great place to practice!
Awesome plane and awesome tutorial! Thanks very much for the superb content you have created, your channel is a “must subscribe” for us MSFS enthusiasts!
That sound sounds familiar!
Just what Ive been looking for~!
Amazing content! Thanks very much!
Starting to study for my instrument check ride . Thanks.
awesome content as always, thank you for taking the time to make this available to us in a easy to understand way ... sure this a not the most entertaining content but necessary to get over at least once. Cheers AHF
Your tutorials are the best on youtube. I don't understand why you have so few subscribers. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos. Greetings from the Netherlands
what is the point then?
Very nicely described. Here in Australia the DME tolerance is +/- 2nm FYI…..
@miket3445, glad you enjoyed the content, and thanks for watching! Again, interesting to hear the differences in regs and procedures from across the world.
Coming back to flight Sim after 4 yr hiatus and needed a complete refresher. The entire series you put together is amazing. Thank you I am glad I use xplane though since the radio functionality is so much better. I lose on the scenery but you cant win them all Thank you again
@pgreenx, welcome back to the community, and I'm glad you've found the content helpful in your return. Thanks for watching! I'm glad Xplane folks are enjoying the content as well, even though it's geared towards MSFS. Be sure to check out the newer videos in the series where I cover the upgrades working title has made to these units. They are actually working pretty true to life now with all the upgrades they have done. It will be interesting to see what they bring to the table with MSFS 2024. kzread.info/head/PL1AlvGUwm14BJaa8xKgeZD7eeqBIWjHMO&si=gu7hn5bFtbXBw7Ae I also have a newer series on shooting various types of RNAV (GPS) approaches - both with the G1000 and the GNS 530 & 430: kzread.info/head/PL1AlvGUwm14BkZFjAJ1VFwRiJr95UVrbA&si=oCKV2EFcDmieeELH
@@AlphaHotelFlightSimulation Thanks - I owe MSFS too. I got tired of all the buttons on the radios etc not working years ago but will give it a try
As always great explanation,thanks Captain.
@mishmish1968, as always, thanks for watching! Glad you continue to enjoy the channel!
Wonderful series. I have been binge watching your videos. Thank you for the effort and dedication. Subbed.
@stronglifter, glad you are enjoying the content. Thanks for the kind words, the sub, and thanks for watching!
Does the pulling back on elevators at roll out to act as spoilers have an effect in the simulator?
@Moonfaster, it seems to. It seems to decelerate a lot faster when you do that - just like in real life. You could try a landing using that technique and one without, and see if there is much difference in your ground roll. Thanks for watching!
Hello! I would like to ask something. If I see on the diagram that DA/MDA(H) 790' How should this be interpreted in this case? This is Jeppesen GYOR-PER, HUNGARY VOR Rwy 29 chart. Thank you in advance for your reply.
@balazsgyorgy1204, I don't have access to the Jeppesen chart for that approach - but on the government chart, I shoow an MDA o f 790' MSL. So your MDA would be 790' on your altimeter if you're flying a dive & drive type approach (and I would likely add some buffer to that.) If you wanted to fly it as a continous descent final approach (CDFA) then you could use 840' (790 +50) as your derived decision altitude (DDA.)
@@AlphaHotelFlightSimulation thank you very much.
Hi. I'm French and i learn IFR and G1000 for MSFS. I discovered recently your KZread Channel. The best one on KZread. A big Thanks for all your very precise explainations.
@AlDo-jc6vk, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the content & finding it helpful. Welcome to the channel, and thanks for watching!
Awsome, thanks Captain for this deep tutorial.
@mishmish1968, glad you enjoyed the content, and thanks for your continued support of the channel!
Wonderful and instructional, thanks!
@isaicalderon5371, thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the content, and thanks for watching!
These are the exact types of flights I'm interested in for simulator use only. Not going for a pilot license or anything. It was a great video but perhaps too much for casual simmers. Maybe need to watch it 10 times.
@josephbruno6058, glad you enjoyed the content and found it helpful. Thanks for watching!
Surprised that you don’t have more subscribers! Well presented tutorial. BTW here in AUS our rules for circling a little different, example, your requirement to maintain circling MDA in the circling area is only required here at night. During the day you can descend to 300’ obstacle clearance height within the circling area to assist with maintaining clear of cloud and visibility with runway environment. Cheers
@miket3445, thanks for the kind words - and thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the content. It's always interesting to hear how regulations and procedures differ in different parts of the world. I always teach to us regs and procedures, since that's what I know - but it's interesting to hear perspectives from pilots in different parts of the world!
Excellent presentation. Thanks
@jakew9887, glad you enjoyed the content, and thanks for your continued support of the channel!
Nice video. Dont people like to fly manually anymore? :-) Is there a way to set up the 530 to have GPS disabled and use the CDI? I know you mentioned a mode to associate the CDI to the Garmin but what would it show? I find sitting around as the plane flies to be boring so I'm looking for scenarios that keep me busy. I wouldn't wanna do this for 4 hour flights but ya know what I mean.
@josephbruno6058, that's the beauty of flight sims - you can fly a whatever manner is most enjoyable for you! Pressing the CDI button on the bottom left of the unit will toggle the associated VOR display between VOR/LOC information and GPS information. So you can navigate using the GPS, VOR, NDB, or just visually if you want to. You can also load a flight plan in the GPS and manually fly the GPS course guidance. Just leave the autopilot off.
Best kap140 tutorial. Thanks.
@magicnorm2036, Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching. Glad you found the tutorial helpful. This one is getting a little long in the tooth - so I should probably update it - but that may not happen until we see what MSFS 2024 has in store...
Magnificent tutorial, another great detailed video covering this topic ,circling Approach is a tricky procedure and it has to be well prepared especially in adverse weather , thanks Captain for the tutorial , it's professionally well covered.
@mishmish1968, Thanks for the continued support & kind words. Flying circling approches in the sim is acutally a little trickier than flying them in real life (unless you're using VR) - So yes, proper prior planning is important! As always, thanks for watching!
What peripherals are you using?
@Brianh-pr9eg, I'm currently using the Turtle beach Velocity One Flightstick. I got that one primarily because it has two throttle levers - the second of which can be used for prop control or spoiler control, depending on what you're flying. It also has a detent for reverse thrust on jets and tubroprops that makes utilizing reverse very simple. I used to use a Thrustmaster T. Flight Hotas, and had that for many years. The only complaints I had with that one was that throttle axix was a little loose, and with the big head, tended to fall to the full forward or aft stops. There was also not an easy way to go into reverse with that one. Thanks for watching!
Great explanation, thanks!
@FordyHunt, glad you found the content helpful. Thanks for watching!
This is THE BEST G1000 tutorial I came across EVER. This includes the "transition" course I took as a commercial pilot from steam gages to modern flight deck. I thank you for your superb quality detailed tutorial.
@elirohnphd5613, Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the content, and thanks for watching!
NDB beacons are all but gone in the USA. I used to fly commercial from out of KMMU. It had an NDB for runway 5. It's gone, like all other NDBs I was familiar with. GPS / RNAV are more accurate and easier to fly. NDB is much more reliable because it doesn't use GPS that is subject to electronic warfare, as we've seen in the Middle East during the first part of 2024.
@elirohnphd5613, NDB's are indeed becoming a rare breed - but there are still a few out there. There are quite a few in Alaska still, and a few still haning nearby the ATL metro area - and there are still 176 NDB approaches on the books. You can actually use the "nearest" function on the Garmin G1000, GNS 530 or GNS 430 to find one near where you're flying. That's probably the easiest way to find them nowadays. (Oh, the irony! 😄) Thanks for watching!
Holy moly, can these be cut down to 20 minutes?
as someone who is new to instrument flying i for one appreciate the detail he goes into, i dont see what he should cut out other than maybe the flight setup and proficiency sections
All the videos here take in account all flight simmer levels , in flying especially instrument you can't say I'm bored as you have to learn every detail to be a good pilot to prevent being in trouble while you're flying 🙂 all the best
@petrolekh, the MO of this channel is in-depth training. I try to cut out as much "fat" as I can - but at the end of the day to both teach and demonstrate flying these manuevers takes the time it takes to do it properly. In real life, a tyipcal flight lesson is about an :30 - 1:00 of pre-brief, 1:00 - 1:30 of flying, and at least 30 minutes of post brief.
great lesson!
@VitoVituccio, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Would you consider doing a checkout series on the grand caravan? Granted, it’s an advanced aircraft (turboprop) but your incredible ability to teach would make it an invaluable and tremendously fun series for us to graduate from the piston cessna to the “big boys”. Cheers!
@apipovic87, Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for wathcing! I eventually plan to do a checkout series on most of the aircraft in MSFS, including the Grand Caravan. I'll probably work my way through the piston singles and light twins first - so it may take me a little while to get there. (We'll also have to see when MSFS 2024 comes out, and what aircraft types they include and discard with that iteration.)
After watching your videos on IFR lessons, I wish I had gotten an IFR rating soon after getting my private pilot certificate more than 40 years ago. My attitude was that I would not want to fly in IFR conditions in a single engine plane, so why bother getting an instrument rating? Now, I see that having an IFR rating would have taken much of the anxiety out of flying long cross country trips and worrying about getting caught up in instrument conditions.
@newhallgeorge1, you bring up a good point - you don't have to use your IFR rating to fly hard IFR. A lot of GA pilots have personal weather minimums, and only use their IFR rating to punch through a thin layer of clouds. It's also useful to back visual approaches up with instrument approaches - particularly at night. (In fact, many comercial operatros mandate this.) Thanks for watching!
