Another Quick Update

Second test down, got another 100%. Got to sit in the simulator a couple of times so far to get familiar with all the switches and how things work. Had some extra time with today's familiarization time and got to play around with actually flying it. It's definitely different when you don't physically feel the changing directional forces when you turn and such and you're just looking at a screen. Good news is that I took off and landed without crashing, bad news is that I have no idea how! Here's what the sims sort of look like (photos taken from T6driver.com)

Next up...Aerodynamics, which is basically a crash course in physics/fluid dynamics/aeronautical engineering. Test is on Monday.
