I took my future wife flying on our first date. She loved it! We’ve been together 15 years. Last year we bought a Piper Arrow and we’ve flown coast to coast from Vancouver BC to St. John’s Newfoundland with our daughter. I can’t believe this is my life. Best wife ever!
Yees!, this tools were super helpful throughout my training, practice is key and this definitely helps you build that muscle memory so your real flights go smoother. It makes flight training a lot more easier and affordable, also it increases safety in my opinion since your mind is more focused on the flying itself rather than trying to familiarize with new procedures taking workload capacities out the important things especially in instrument flying. Thanks for sharing Joe!
Great advice Joe! If you Google it's possible to get large high quality images of different cockpits. It would be very easy for a good print shop to make them life-size. Wouldn't matter if they are a bit grainy visuals. It's funny 25 years ago I had a great idea when I was handling marketing for a big Flight School. I printed off large cockpits and put them on rollers in the classrooms. Students could sit in front of them and practice hand movements and procedures. They were a huge game changer! I was very proud. At a large airline's sim facility years later I saw the same thing being done but the printouts had been put onto rigging that was similar to the actual cockpit. So you could sit in something that felt the same as the cockpit and get the feel of where things were.
Yes, this kind of "play pretend" do work. I'm software developer and we have something call "rubber duck debugging", it's a way to find problem (aka bugs) in our code. It's you talking out loud, explaining what your code do line by line to literally anything, a monitor, yourself, a designer friend, an HR, or... a rubber duck, anything. This help you "sort out your thinking" of what I like to call it and it's more likely for you to go "wait a minute, this line doesn't look right". One time I heard my friend complaining there's a bug in his code and that he's been finding like 3 days. I slide my chair over to him, says "what's the problem?", sit still, speak another 0 word, he found the problem in a few minutes, I slide my chair away and says "you're welcome". It was so nice haha.
Nice tips! Protip nr 6: Record your flying lessons with something like a GoPro and watch them later on the ground. Make sure the whole panel is visible. With an audio cable, you can record ATC as well. :-)
I really liked your little Cessna simulator videos. Any chance you could fly one in real life and share with us? The one with the glider was also an awesome video!
Evening Cpt Joe, just wanna wish u and family are merry Xmas and all the best for the bells. Give us a shout when ur next in Scotland and we will go for a few beers
@Felix_Octavi oh that's great to hear!! Thanks for responding! I'll be getting it soon. I just got MSFS 2024 2 weeks ago so I looks forward to using Octavi
Love the idea of chair flying , but buddy , toilet door , mate , I understand toilet seats will take place of the first officers seat once they cut back to 1 pilot, paper cockpit in the toilet NO 😅😂
Using a paper Tiger or arm chair flying is a good tool to start you off, but only gets you so far. Practice in the real thing is the only solid method that gets you genuine muscle memory. The more important next step is running through non-normal checklists and how you would respond to them. The only problem with trying to rehearse scenarios fully is that things never work out the same for real or in the sim. That is why your management model, or at least your approach to an inflight failure or scenario, has to be robust. There isn’t much to practice here, as it comes from real life experience.
👍 , less electricity for need to reduce the cost of education ( watching youtube help too , "today" i know about the exhaust at heckleitruder also no e-engine to let the turbine shovel spin in parking position ...only wind let them move 👏) you are the second pilot , pilot-pascalklr sayed the same microsoft game playing and you learn skill's for flight-simulator ...
I guess you can differentiate between the two goals you can achieve on different levels: 1. Build muscle memory of where and in which order you need to flick switches or press buttons. (Imaginary, Paper or actual cockpit). 2. Sharpen your procedure skills for Departures, Arrivals, Holdings, Approaches (Flight Sim and IFR-1)
Chair flying is important step for any pilot, regardless if it is in GA, commercial or the military. Good video as always, Joe!

Pretty nice addition to the Sim, hopefully soon available in the UK
Pretty cool product you have there! Thanks for sharing!
Wishing you all the best! ❤
Great device, I'm really interested in that! Nice Video :)

Thank you so much for these tipps! So well explained...
My dream was being a pilot. But sadly I'm color blind 😢
Flight sim is the closest i can get
They’re changing that requirement. Look it up
Try to get an examination anyway. Am currently trying to prove i have been misdiagnosed with adhd

Well... I have a necessity now for a new poster at home that I didn't know I needed!

“Captain I have 2400 hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator, Im sitting in 10B if you need me.”
Send me an email please to flywithcaptainjoe@gmail.com
Chair flying is the new air guitar 😂
haha, yes you could say that😂
Thank you Very Much!!!
Nice one joe!
13:54 Joe's knows how to use his time dual purpose 😂
You did the after start flow
the “before taxi procedure”
Great content!
Hello captain, thanks for the video. Is it possible to connect the OCTAVI IFR to the Xbox? Thank you
It’s not yet compatible with Xbox unfortunately
That's so cool!
I checked the website and Octavi works with MSFS 2020 but does it work with the 2024 version? anyone know?
Hi there - it does! We're not seeing any issues at all. MSFS2024 has improved a lot since launch, it's becoming a good sim :)
@Felix_Octavi oh that's great to hear!! Thanks for responding! I'll be getting it soon. I just got MSFS 2024 2 weeks ago so I looks forward to using Octavi
Yes I can vow for that, that it works with MSFS 2024👍🏻
@@flywithcaptainjoe awesome, thanks!
3:17 After engine start… ???
Love the idea of chair flying , but buddy , toilet door , mate , I understand toilet seats will take place of the first officers seat once they cut back to 1 pilot, paper cockpit in the toilet NO 😅😂
I fly the 172 😅 so I’m guessing After start - pre Taxi checklist??
Works for sport too

You’re a captain 🧑✈️ with three stripes?????

Octavi Ifr1 , like a mouse, must mess up your muscle memory.
I guess you can differentiate between the two goals you can achieve on different levels: 1. Build muscle memory of where and in which order you need to flick switches or press buttons. (Imaginary, Paper or actual cockpit). 2. Sharpen your procedure skills for Departures, Arrivals, Holdings, Approaches (Flight Sim and IFR-1)
After start checklist, i'm not a pilot
I would prefer a flying simulator , especially in VR. ! 😜
