IFR
We use Laminar Research X-Plane 11 Professional for aircraft handling, procedural practice and IFR practice. Our simulator is updated with the latest navigation data as the new AIRAC cycle comes out, and pilots can practice 2D and 3D approaches including VOR, NDB, RNP, and ILS approaches using their approach plates. Depending on the aircraft, pilots can use GNS530, GNS430, and GARMIN G1000 avionics as their GPS unit. The simulator also features fully functioning RADIOS (Com1/2- Nav1/2), TRANSPONDER, ADF, and AUTOPILOT. Pilots can bring their own phone or tablet to sync OzRunways or AvPlan with our simulator to track their flight real time and fly over geo-referenced plates. We also provide a tablet which has world wide Jeppesen charts with real time geo-referenced tracking.
There are several kinds of IFR practice that you can do in our flight simulator.
Basic instrument flying: Start by practicing basic instrument flying, such as straight and level flight, climbing, descending, and turning using only the instruments. This will help you get familiar with the basic instrument scan and develop your instrument flying skills.
Navigation: You can start practicing navigation using VOR or GPS navigation equipment. You can create a flight plan and fly it using the navigation equipment, tracking the VOR or GPS waypoints.
Holding: Holding is a standard procedure in IFR flying. You can practice holding patterns using the simulator, which will help you understand how to enter and exit the holding pattern, maintain the assigned altitude, and follow the ATC (Air Traffic Control) instructions.
Approaches: You can practice various types of instrument approaches such as ILS (Instrument Landing System), VOR, GPS, and RNP approaches. These approaches will help you understand how to descend on the correct glide slope, track the localizer, and execute a missed approach procedure.
Emergencies: Practice various emergency scenarios such as asymmetric flight/approach, EFATO, or instrument failure, and learn how to handle them using the instruments and procedures.
