Description:
Using the Microsoft Flight Simulator, complete the performance requirements as listed and enter the corresponding missing values. Also there will be space to provide a brief explanation of the results for different performance settings.
For the Take Off Performance and Turning Performance sections, ensure that Sim Flight Path program is running in the background. Once you have completed the necessary flights you can upload the file from Sim Flight Path into Google Earth to measure the distances. A video on how to do this is provided in Blackboard.
