Join Howard and chat for an informative session on flying twins. We learned about the Diamond DA-62 in the last two Tuesdays and now we continue on the journey with twin engines and fly the legendary Grumman Goose. This is a free download and Howard will include a link to the checklist and the POH. Once we learn more about it, we take it for a spin and land on both water and runways. Come watch or even load up your own Grumman Goose and fly along. https://twitch.tv/ForderLearnToFly

This is it. The next big flying endurance race. https://twitch.tv/ForderLearnToFly will be covering it live with our “Eye in the Sky” Forder Reporters. We will be keeping you updated on the race, stats, strategies and interviews. The race starts at 8 am Paris Time and won’t finish until all contestants are finished. This will be 20 to 30 hours depending on conditions. With this kind of marathon, anything could happen. More details: Paris-Dakar Rally Charity: Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) Our “Eye in the Sky” reporters can travel up to 176 knots in the ForderLearnToFly blimp. We have many of them.

Come join us Thursday evening as we rehearse our role in the Paris-Dakar endurance race. We need flyers to start flying the route as if they are contestants. We need those of you who wish to be reporters. You would fly/slew up to a contestant airplane, stay on their side as we ask them to use discord voice (as if we stick a microphone into their cockpit to speak). We need to rehearse how to get your screen to Howard’s stream, typically discord screen share and ensure you have a microphone. This will all be demonstrated before you try and decide. Howard’s stream will be covering the race with hourly updates on stream. We need extra reporters to do this. Come this evening and watch/participate and fly part of the journey. We will slew to different airports along the way for “interviews” with pilots. The actual race is this weekend, but we are rehearsing tonight: https://twitch.tv/ForderLearnToFly See you there.

The ForderLearnToFly “Eye in the Sky” will be covering the event from way up! Come join the fun today as a couple dozen brave pilots tackle the famous Mach Loop racetrack in the sky in North Wales. This challenging race for pilots keeps you on your toes and your eyes wide open. Famous for military displays of “Top Gun” material. Categories include the low and the slow all the way up to the fastest jets we have in Microsoft Flight Simulator. No extra scenery is required as the stock photogrammetry is beautiful and is as hard to navigate as the real thing. Pilots have to stay low and make those turns. No time to admire the scenery. We have our partner, Orbx, giving away prizes for the winners and two giveaways for the viewers. We have our twitch moderators judging and air traffic control. We have most of the competing pilots turning on their video cameras when they are not flying. We will have great coverage of the event from all angles. Oh, and did I mention the ForderLearnToFly blimp? It all happens today, Saturday, June 12th at noon Eastern time, 1600 zulu. Bring your friends and relax and enjoy. This is going to get crazy! https://twitch.tv/ForderLearnToFly

Our next few Tuesday Lessons will focus on learning to fly a new airplane. Many have taken the basic lessons and learned on a Cessna 152 or Cessna 172 just like real life pilot training. But when it comes to flying bigger planes and more complex propellers or engines, we just kind of wing it, and many times with disappointing results. In this series of lessons and demonstrations, we learn the overall strategy of learning to fly a new plane and specific details on how to do that for 4 major upgrades over 4 Tuesdays. Our first upgrade would be from conventional round gauges of a Cessna 152 to a Cessna 172 which is an easy upgrade. We just need to know the new Vx and Vy of the bigger plane. But this session will dive deeper into an upgrade from the Cessna 172 G100 plane (stock in the standard edition) to the Beechcraft G36 Bonanza with it’s retractable gear, high-performance engine and 6 seats. Faster and more complex, but not hard to learn if we use the right methodology. Come join Howard as we learn how to upgrade to a new plane properly so we are confident in flying your new airplane in Microsoft Flight Simulator. https://twitch.tv/ForderLearnToFly The Beechcraft G36 Bonanza – A high-performance six-seater single engine airplane in production the longest of any other aircraft. A sample screen from this session. These are the overall steps we will take. Then we apply them specifically to the G36 in this session. Here is the lineup for this lesson (G36) and future lessons on Tuesdays

Caribbean music, island hopping in a floatplane and great discussions along the way. Life is good. Come fly in multiplayer or just watch and participate in chat. https://twitch.tv/ForderLearnToFly We take a closer look at Orbx’s Vessels in Anguillla, St Martin and St Barts. Tall ships, yachts, and sailboats. A great addition to the vacation islands. While you are in chat, type !fly for our server, !flightplan for our flightplan and !scenery for the link to the scenery.
