Flying my Qualifying Cross Country in Microsoft Flight Simulator! | Real 737 Pilot LIVE
530Over 12 years ago (31st March 2009) I completed my Qualifying Cross Country (QXC). This is one of the last elements of your Private Pilot’s License and involves a cross country flight flying to two different airfields other than your home base.
12 years on and almost 5000 hours later I’m going to recreate the exact flights using Microsoft Flight Simulator in one of the very aircraft I spent many hours building on, G-BFGL, a dependable Cessna 152.
We’ll be using the exact same checklist and will primarily navigate using Dead Reckoning under VFR rules using tracks and timings and geographical locations such as towns, cities, and landmarks as waypoints using live weather conditions.
It has been over 10 years since I flew without the aid of instruments navigation so let’s see if I can blow off some rust and see how I fare!
Routing is as follows.
1. Fenland (EGCL) - Peterborough - Huntingdon - Cambridge (EGSC)
2. Cambridge (EGSC) - Grafham Water - Rutland Water - Nottingham (EGBN)
3. Nottingham (EGBN) - Grantham - Spalding - Fenland (EGCL)

THIS STREAM IS NOT TO BE USED FOR REAL WORLD FLIGHT TRAINING
The primary purpose of this stream is to give you the opportunity to see how a Real 737 Captain operates a desktop simulated aircraft in real time using real world operating procedures.
Whilst every effort is made to accurately replicate the way the aircraft is flown based on my experience as an Airline Captain and Type Rating Instructor, this is purely for entertainment only.
If you happen to be a line pilot or training pilot you must not follow the guidance in this livestream, it is purely for non-professional computer simulated flight. Only consult your approved material from your respective operator.
Personal questions and queries regarding my employment status will not be answered.
