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 controlsAilerons control the roll of the aircraft Elevator controls the pitch of the aircraft Rudder control the yaw of the aircraft
What is the first thing to do before moving/taxing the aircraft? Describe this process and describe exactly what you are looking for.test out all the controls. you want to move all controls in full deflection to ensure none of the servos are bad and that all controls are operating in the way you want it. What control is used to maneuver on the ground?the rudder is used to control the aircraft on the ground Outline the process of the takeoff procedureline up with the runway add power slowly steer the plane to maintain centerline once Vr is reached add some back elevator pressure What direction should you take off?away from from (stand behind it so your left is the aircraft left) Why does the instructor taxi away from himself first before initiating the takeoff sequence? What can you say about the takeoff point?to maximize the amount of available runway. How does this differ from the Believer?the believer doesn’t have landing gear and we throw it for takeoff
Describe the throttle input from takeoff to cruise altitude.full throttle to half throttle What does it mean to pull the aircraft through a turn? Add a diagram showing the aircraft's forces to help illustrate this process.adding elevator to compensate the lose of vertical lift When are you most likely to turn the aircraft the wrong way? That is, when are you most likely to lose your orientation?when the aircraft is headed towards you, your might mix up left and right How do you plan to combat incorrect orientation?practicing within the sim.
Why fly high?if something goes wrong during the flight you give yourself time to recovery. How does the instructor suggest recovering from incorrect attitudes?reduce the power and neutralize all the controls
What is a stall? when the AOA is greater than the critical AOA and the airflow over the wing is disrupted and can no longer produce lift How can you recognize a stall?when the wing drops How can you recover from a stall? Describe the process in detail.reduce the AOA What is the improper way to recover a stall?pulling back on the AOA thinking you are going to increase altitude
What is a flair?a technique used to bleed off the airspeed to ensure a smoothing landing Describe the instructor’s control inputs as he aligns for the landing? Describe the throttle, rudder, aileron, and elevator positions.reduce throttle idle, rudder aileron and elevator were neutral. How can you tell if you are aligned with the runway centerline? What is a technique that you could use?by practicing enough times in the simulator to gain experience. He didn’t talk about this in the video How can you tell if you are on the correct glide slope to touchdown directly in front of you?if you don’t need to added elevator pressure or added power and just let the airplane do it thing
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?NO. the believer isn’t a aerobatic certified aircraft. You are welcome to watch the remaining stunt videos, but there are no questions on them.

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.
