  • Descending to the airport is one of the more difficult activities to time perfectly. In this video, I'll share with you a few different ways that you can plan and descend to pattern altitude, as well as a few tricks you can use in the GPS to arrive at the right altitude right on time.

    Dude, first of all let me start by thanking you. Second, I want to congratulate you for having the common sense of making a beginner friendly tutorial. Every single Flight Simulator tutorial on TH-cam that claims to be simple and straightforward is a convoluted mess. Keep it up brother.

    I'm sorry if I missed something, but is there a reason why you're using the Airspeed and not the Groundspeed for the calculation at 3:57? At 4:40 you say, you should use Groundspeed in the case of strong winds. Why not always use this value?

      You can always use groundspeed, what I meant was it’s more important in those situations because it could give you a drastically different number.

    I can also turn on floating waypoint to let me know the distance right? And if im flying the airbus, i just simply set the altitude to 1100 (base on your case) when reaching the calculated point right?

      I don't have much experience with the Airbus, but in the general aviation aircrafts I'd recommend using the VS mode on the autopilot once you reach the calculated point because you can set it to the exact vertical speed you made the calculations with.

    I'm new to flight simulation this is where I'm having trouble learning. My question is this, how did you get the 1100 feet to subtract from your cruise altitude?

      No worries, I wasn't very clear about that in retrospect. Here's the answer: The airport I was flying to is at an altitude of 100 feet. Generally speaking, the pattern altitude (the altitude planes would fly around the airport to come in to land) is 1000 feet above the airport. 100 + 1000 = 1100. I hope that helps :)

      @@FlightSimSchool Thank you I found it. Thanks for the reply watching your video now on how and when to descend.
