X-Plane 11.50 [PC] 2020: Takeoff, Landing with Cessna Skyhawk and Stinson L5. Helicopter Basics.

Takeoff in the Cessna 172:

Learn the basics of taking off from the runway in a small, general aviation airplane.

Aircraft: Cessna Skyhawk (Cessna 172SP)
Location: PHNL, Runway 08L
Difficulty: 1

Taildragger takeoff:

Flying a taildragger requires a very different technique than a "tricycle"-gear like the Cessna 172. The most popular taildraggers are used for landing on rugged or unpaved runways, or even in fields.

Aircraft: Stinson L5 Sentinel
Location: KSEA, Runway 16L
Difficulty: 2

Landing in the Cessna 172:

Landing an airplane can be incredibly daunting. Take it one step at a time, though, and you can learn to pilot the Cessna 172 safely down to the ground in no time.

You can control the flaps with the "1" and "2" keys. While landing you will need the "2". Don't forget to use the breaks with "B" when you're on the ground.

Aircraft: Cessna Skyhawk
Location: 47.52 N / 122.31 W
Difficulty: 1

Traffic Pattern:

Real pilots fly in a very specific way during takeoff & landing. In this tutorial, you'll learn to take off, fly a rectangular circuit, and land back on the runway just like you would in the real world.

Aircraft: Cessna Skyhawk (Cessna 172SP)
Location: PAJN Runway 08
Difficulty: 1

VOR Navigation:

If you want to fly cross-country without the benefit of a GPS, you'll need to learn to use VOR navigation. Fly this tutorial to learn how real pilots fly from Point A to Point B.
This was quite difficult for me to understand at first, because I didn't read the tutorial with attention to the details. After crashing several times the plane I've decided to reread the explanations and finally the bulb in my head has lightened up.
Use key "M" to show the map.

Aircraft: Cessna Skyhawk (Cessna 172SP)
Location: SSR (Sisters Island) 58.27 N / 135.42 W
Difficulty: 3

Flying an ILS Approach

An airport's Instrument Landing System is designed to provide guidance for both your course and descent during a landing. If you want to fly a landing the way real-world pilots do, this is it.

Aircraft: Cessna Skyhawk (Cessna 172SP)
Location: 47.41 N / 122.41 W
Difficulty: 3

Helicopter Basics:

Forget everything you know about flying... this is a whole new world. In this tutorial, you'll learn the fundamentals of taking off and controlling a helicopter.
Well, this is really difficult with a keyboard and mouse. It took me a while to figure out that the "collective" can be lowered / raised with the "F3" / "F4" keys. Without it you cannot even raise the machine.

Aircraft: Sikorsky S-76C
Location: PHJR, Runway 22R
Difficulty: 1
