Fired up Instructor Station tonight and started recording my 5 year old daughter flying the sim. The software will create a PDF for you out of all your chosen logged data, and also will output it to Google Earth!

Here’s some samples from her flight out of KLAX. Not too bad for a 5 year old trying to do a pattern! Someone has a 737 in their backyard now haha.

My good buddy and partner Patrick stopped by today and flew the test flight from Los Angeles International over  to March Air Reserve Base!

I took the copilot seat to handle communications on landing, but overall everything went really well for his first flight! (A rough landing but thats to be expected!)

Great job Pat!

Oh yeah, oh yeah! So I just flew the FSX Mission Amsterdam-UK Airline Run. It starts out as a typical flight from Amsterdam to London, in torrential rain and thunderstorms. But around FL120 the cabin crew report a passenger is having a heart attack and after “World Travel” dispatch is notified, it’s decided that the plane needs to land immediately with a medical emergency at the nearest airport.

I turned towards the destination airport and descended to 2000 feet. I could not see anything, torrential rain and cloud cover made visibility maybe 5 miles. But, I had the airport showing up in my ND so I knew which way to go. And even cooler, the little compass/arrow that these missions show you in the game was wrong! It had me pointed about 30 degrees left and 4 miles away! Awsome that my full fledged cockpit software (Project Magenta) was completely accurate and was showing me exactly what I needed to know.

I captured the glideslope and set the MCP to [APP]roach.We landed successfully and taxied to the gate where an ambulance was waiting to pick up the heart attack victim. Success and I was awarded the “Pilot of the Hour” medal!
