This video covers the three step process I use to make a visual approach, and how you can use it in your flights to get in the right spot at the right time for landing.
Topics covered include descent from cruise, how to enter the traffic pattern, how to fly the traffic pattern

10:58 ABSOLUTELY!! Flying VFR in VR is soo much easier and more enjoyable in my opinion. You can quickly look around you at any time without any hastle and on final you get a very good perception of altitude and distance which makes landing the airplane way easier than on a 2D screen. And from a VR perspective is flight simming the coolest thing to do in VR.

My flight instructor would've slapped me if I crossed an airfield so low and approached just above the trees :D Having said that, I like to do things in the sim that'd get me in jail in reallife haha

This video, as I have found your other tutorials, is excellent. I enjoy your conversational approach and appreciate your well thought out instruction which is delivered without irrelevant comments or anecdotes.

Great tip on using MFD zoomed in to keep track of the runway. I'm always losing it visually and have a heck of a time finding it again.

Thank you for these videos. I appreciate the pacing and explanations. I do have two questions because landing paths/approaches aren’t covered as much on Reddit and msfs forums from what I can see. 1. I know which runway strip and which direction I need to approach it from, but how do I know where and when to turn to hit the runway straight on? Is the rule of thumb to fly over like you did here and then follow a left traffic pattern? 2. Why did you turn clockwise first after flying over the airport before following the traffic pattern? Thanks again. I have learned a lot this year, but landing paths, traffic patterns, proper directional approaches don’t get covered enough. It’s nice to see you do it.

It’s a topic I’ve tried to address a few times in a couple different ways because it’s a common question. Yes, the easiest way is to just overfly the field before joining the pattern, which in most situations will be left hand (although some field do right hand or special entry). The best practice is to join the traffic pattern at 45 degrees, which is why I first did a clockwise turn, so that I come back around and join on downwind at 45 degrees. I hope that helps!

@@FlightSimSchool Yes, your reply helps a lot. Your videos are great for both gamers and those wanting to supplement aviation/simulation learning.
