Gate to gate includes everything home simulators miss out!
Sure you want to fly the plane but do you know what happens when you first step into the cockpit? How about after you land? … Do you walk out and abandon it in the runway? Of course not! The Gate To Gate add on adds to the realism of an actual flight!
To find out all of the protocols that a pilot would go through as well as taxiing to the runway this add on is essential! The full airline experience includes:
- Sitting in the pilots chair you will find the plane quiet and dark. Parked at the gate you will start up the aircraft as you prepare for the flight.
- Your instructor will help you to prepare the aircraft as you follow checklists that real world pilots do. You will program the flight computer and generally get the plane ready for flight.
- After being pushed back from the gate you will start the engines and ready for taxi.
- Once the pushback truck has completed their job and parked up it’s time to taxi to the holding point at the runway.
- Flying an aeroplane isn’t taken lightly and final checks are taken before your session / flight time begins.
- After you complete your flight your real world experience continues as after you land you leave the runway, make your way to the gate or stand and allow your virtual passengers to disembark. The latter while you shut down the engines.
If total immersion is what you are after, this is a must have add on!
