I’m a 72 YO retiree with a PPL, Command Instrument Rating and Aerobatic and other endorsements. Due to financial and health issues I no longer fly, much as I enjoy it. X-Plane gives me the opportunity to practice my old skills (especially instrument flying) plus the sheer fun of flying WWII aircraft I have always wanted to get my hands on. The simulation “feel” is excellent as are the flying characteristics of the various aircraft available.

You can’t really practice an emergency landing in real life and take it below minimum altitudes, let alone to the ground. . . . I am a private pilot now. I credit my great instructor and X-Plane for my success.

I landed the aircraft unassisted my on my first flight! My instructor . . . said after 3000 hours of instructing, he only had 1 other student ever do that.

I was determined to get [my private pilot license] . . . the years of using X-Plane saved me a lot of money.

…Once in the air, I was then confident in what I was doing—because I’d been there already, the night before, in X‑Plane!

If you own and fly a homebuilt ultralight, or want to learn it, X‑Plane will teach you the magic of aerodynamics!
