  • Group Fly to The End of The Earth!

    Sounds so dramatic, but that is what this northern area of Scotland is referred to! Welcome all flyers of Microsoft Flight Simulator, students, pilots, CFIs and casual viewers. Come fly and discover some awesome scenery in the UK north. Add your own comments if you have information about where we fly. And if you are from the area, let’s overfly your house together! We do challenge landings every chance we get even though we do have a flight plan. This isn’t your average, “Turn on Autopilot and talk about other things” kinda flight. This is focused on flying, discovering, practicing skills and enjoying each other’s company. Come join me this evening (and every Saturday morning, Sunday evening) at 7pm Eastern Time (12am Zulu) on http://twitch.tv/ForderLearnTofly When you get there, type !fly and !flightplan in chat to get the flight plan and server stats.

You can join me after the lecture for a group fly from Buttonville to Barrie Springwater airport in the Ontario Canada area.

  • Learn To Fly with Jayne

    Lesson 5 of our multi-part series on the MSFSofficial twitch channel Come join us today on the MSFSofficial channel for Flight Simulator as the Flight Simulator Community Manager, Jayne takes on the role as student again and performs the new skills introduced in Lesson 5: The Circuit The main goal in this lesson is pulling all the previous skills together now and performing touch and go’s in the pattern, or runway circuit. She will be departing from 16Left at KPAE, Paine Field in Washington State, our home of our flying lessons. Howard will be teaching this class and is the principal instructor and course designer of this series. It is not a multiplayer flight, as in real life, it is only between the instructor and the student so the focus is on the handling of the airplane through the different attitudes without the distraction of planes zooming by and aerobatics in the air beside us. Although this isn’t on Howard’s twitch stream, it is on the bigger audience, MSFSofficial stream. Join us Wednesday evening at 5 pm Eastern or 10pm GMT (zulu) on http://twitch.tv/MSFSofficial Hope to see you there, join in chat, ask questions and interact with fellow pilots, instructors and newbies to aviation. Lot’s of fun!
