Can I learn to fly in a computer simulation?
12th November 2000 Next day I was back in the same general area, this time in a Mooney 231! The planned Cessna was down for repairs, so the German CFI substituted the Mooney, a 200 HP low-wing retractable with variable prop, cruising at 150 knots or more.
This was by far the highest performance airplane I have flown, and I can see how you can get to like this sort of thing.
Mr. Karl handled the comms for us, although it was mainly in English anyway. I figured with a new (and complex) airplane, new airport, and new air space and terrain that I had enough to worry about. I handled the whole flight (except for a few minutes taking pictures), and at first it was hard to hold altitude because it was so fast, and the electric trim control took a bit of practice. But after 20 minutes or so I was fine and did well on some steep turns and slow flight.
