From the main menu, select the Flight Training option and choose Airplane.Starting from the first lesson, Ground School, watch the videos for each lesson by clicking the Fly button. Complete the questions for each lesson below.After the lesson, press the ESC key to return to the Flight Training Menu.
List and describe each of the main controlsaileronsThey make the aircraft turn by creating drag on one side more than another. It is the mobile panels on the back ends of the wing.elevatorThe elevator makes the aircraft go up or down. It is the flat panel on the backrudderThe Rudders control the direction that the plane is facing; it is the tall vertical panel at the back of the plane
What is the first thing to do before moving/taxing the aircraft? Describe this process and describe exactly what you are looking for.make sure that all of the servos and systems are working properly, just have it taxi on the ground and move the sticks around to check if things are working properlyWhat control is used to maneuver on the ground?rudderOutline the process of the takeoff procedurethrottle forward, once it gets fast enough, then slowly pull back on the stick to take offWhat direction should you take off?into the windWhy does the instructor taxi away from himself first before initiating the takeoff sequence? What can you say about the takeoff point?to get the takeoff point closer to youHow does this differ from the Believer?believer doesnt have any landing gear system, you have to hand launch it.
Describe the throttle input from takeoff to cruise altitude.throttle should be full all the way to the desired altitude, and then reduce power to about half power, What does it mean to pull the aircraft through a turn? Add a diagram showing the aircraft's forces to help illustrate this process.holding backpressure on the elevator so that you dont lose altitudeWhen are you most likely to turn the aircraft the wrong way? That is, when are you most likely to lose your orientation?when it is facing youHow do you plan to combat incorrect orientation?small inputs
Why fly high?so that you can have time to recover if you were to stall or diveHow does the instructor suggest recovering from incorrect attitudes?lower the nose and level the plane
What is a stall? A stall is when there is a lack of air/lift from the wings, causing the plane to dive until it can get lift againHow can you recognize a stall?decreased control when trying to maneuver, needs more input for the same amount of resultHow can you recover from a stall? Describe the process in detail.nose down and throttle upWhat is the improper way to recover a stall?applying back pressure
What is a flair? It allows for a smooth landing so the plane won't bounce and hit the ground. it bleeds off airspeed to smoothly touchdown. Describe the instructor’s control inputs as he aligns for the landing? Describe the throttle, rudder, aileron, and elevator positions.smooth small inputsHow can you tell if you are aligned with the runway centerline? What is a technique that you could use?watch the nose angleHow can you tell if you are on the correct glide slope to touchdown directly in front of you?The approach angle would remain constant.
How do the flight characteristics of this trainer aircraft differ from those of the Believer? That is, in its current configuration, could you perform stunts with the believer?The believers would be operated on in “safe mode” or a name like that, so that you couldn't do flips like that. If that were disabled, then ye,s probably you could, it just wouldn't end very well, and it isn't good for the aircraftYou are welcome to watch the remaining stunt videos, but there are no questions on them.

SeligSim Assignment One
Overview
Recall the article that Ryan shared in week 2 that summarized the importance of good training paired with good simulation. The article suggested that without proper training and instruction, a pilot can develop bad skills.
Fortunately, SeligSIM, being a university professor’s project, has flight training built right into the home menu. In this assignment, you will be reviewing these videos and creating a short write-up of the technique used before completing the lessons in future SeligSIM assignments.
