FSFlyingSchool for X-Plane 10 |
Detailed Cessna 208 advice during 'Starting and Takeoff':

- Engine start attempted and power lever not correctly set
- Advice that power lever should be idle when starting.
- Engine start attempted and parking brake not set
- Warning that parking brake must be set when starting the engine.
- Engine start attempted with master battery switch off
- Advice that the master battery switch must be on when starting the engine.
- Shortly after moving in taxi mode
- Advice on which instruments and systems should be checked during taxiing.
- In takeoff mode without flaps set
- Warning that you must have take off flaps set at 20 degrees.
- In takeoff mode with more than 20 degrees of flaps
- Warning that you have too much flaps set and that you should use no more than 20 degrees.
- In takeoff mode and on ground with autopilot on
- Warning that autopilot must be off during takeoff.
- Shortly after beginning takeoff
- Advice to move throttle smoothly up to 1900 RPM.
- Shortly after beginning takeoff
- Advice that the nose wheel can be lifted at 73 KIAS.
- Shortly after takeoff
- Reminder that this aircraft's 'vX' (Best Angle of Climb Speed) is 72 KIAS at sea level. Use this speed to clear runway obstacles or to lift off from a soft field quickly.
- Shortly after takeoff
- Reminder that this aircraft's 'vY' (Best Rate of Climb Speed) is 104 KIAS at sea level. Use this speed to climb after takeoff in normal operations.
- Shortly after takeoff
- Advice that if you encounter heavy turbulence you need to be at or below manoeuvring speed ('vA') and to remember that this will decrease as you burn fuel.
- Shortly after takeoff
- Advice to use right rudder to correct for any unwanted yawing to the left caused by P factor and torque.
- Shortly after takeoff
- Advice to get take-off flaps retracted.
- Entering cruise climb
- Advice to climb between 1600 and 1900 RPM.

Detailed Cessna 208 advice during 'Descent and Landing':
- Descending and below maximum flap speed while landing
- Advice that once below 175 KIAS the pilot may start to lower flaps.
- Descending to landing and fuel condition lever not set
- Advice that fuel condition lever must be at low idle for descent to landing.
- Descending and decelerating to maximum flap speed while landing
- Advice that once below 175 KIAS the pilot may start to lower flaps.
- Descending and decelerating to 150 KIAS while landing
- Advice that once below 150 KIAS the pilot may start to lower 20 degrees of flaps.
- Descending and decelerating to 125 KIAS while landing
- Advice that once below 125 KIAS the pilot may start to lower full flaps.
- Descent to around 1000 feet AGL while landing with autopilot on
- Warning to disengage the autopilot below 1000 feet during an approach in this aircraft.
- Descent to around 600 feet AGL while landing
- Advice to use pitch to control airspeed and power to control rate of descent during approach and landing.
- Descent to around 500 feet AGL while landing
- Advice that you want to land with landing flaps (full flaps) at 80 knots IAS.
- Descent to around 400 feet AGL while landing
- Reminder to flare at about 10 to 15 feet above the runway and to lift the nose to land on your main gear first, lower the nose wheel gently and use minimum braking required.
- Descent to around 300 feet AGL while landing
- Reminder that at about 10 to 15 feet above the runway you should reduce power to idle and flare.

- Speed approaching vNO
- Reminder that you need smooth air to fly above 'vNO' (Maximum Structural Cruising Speed) which is 140 knots for this aircraft.
- Speed approaching vNE
- Warning that you are close to exceeding 175 KIAS which is 'vNE' (Never Exceed Speed) for this aircraft.

- Left or right fuel level is low
- Warning that one or both fuel tanks are getting low and you may wish to consider your refuelling options.
- Flaps down and flying too fast for any flaps
- Advice that once below 175 KIAS the pilot may use 10 degrees of flaps.
- Master battery switched on
- Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full.
- Master battery on and fuel level getting low
- Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full as fuel falls below 50%, 25%, 10%, 5% and 3%.
- Engine running and generator off
- Reminder to turn generator on.
- Engine running and avionics master switch off
- Reminder to turn avionics master switch on.
- Fuel condition lever too high when taxiing
- Advice to set fuel condition lever to low idle.
- Pitot heat off and not taxiing and OAT below 4 degrees C
- Reminder to use pitot heat when OAT (outside air temperature) is below 4 degrees C.
- Pitot heat on and taxiing or OAT not below 4 degrees C]
- Reminder to turn off pitot heat when taxiing or when OAT (outside air temperature) is at or above 4 degrees C.

Talking Flight Instructors, with optional text captions displayed in X-Plane | | |
Scoring system rates all phases of flight: taxi, take off, cruise, approach, landing & more | | |
Fly anywhere in the world with an instructor | | |
Easy to use! Land anywhere you like and your instructors will know which runway you have chosen. Just get lined up with a runway ahead of you when you descend in landing mode. The instructor will look ahead, figure which runway you are heading for and announce where you are going to land.
| | |
Instructor knows which runway you are taking off from. Instructor will comment and give advice on the runway you have selected.
| | |
Instructor knows which runway you are landing at. Even without ILS, and will give advice on how to land.
| | |
No need to land on a fixed point on the runway. Any reasonable landing on a runway will get a reasonable score.
| | |
Spoken Teaching Tips. Option so that FSFlyingSchool will speak a series of helpful tips when you fly. Tips are always in the same voice and are clearly different from a normal 'instructor' voice. These tips are like training wheels on a bicycle and are telling you how to use FSFlyingSchool and X-Plane itself. Once you have got the basics of these operations down, you may wish to turn these basic tips off.
| | |
Friendly scoring system. Rewards all flights which were basically safe - higher scores require plenty of skill. If you can walk away from your landing - you will get a score. If you crash - you will not!
| | |
