Flying the FMX-1000 Full motion simulator

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

The weather here in Sarasota has been very "hit or miss" the past few days, making it hard to fly. Yesterday had so much fog, it was rated as CAT III conditions... So rather than going flying, I decided to set up my tripod in the school's full motion FAA certified FMX-1000 simulator. Unfortunately the simulator runs fsx (I'd prefer X-Plane of course) yet it is fun nonetheless, and a great way to practice IFR. In the video I start off from KSRQ, I fly to KMCO and then I fly back to KSRQ to shoot an ILS Approach for runway 31. Unfortunately I was unable to film the take-off out of KMCO due to a camera compression error that made it unable to record at that moment.

Anyway, I'll let the video do the rest of the talking... enjoy :)

Sweet movie you've made, as usual :) Few days ago Cirrus opened its training center in another city in my country. It has a full motion simulator, complete with an original cockpit, running on X-Plane 9. It's open for non-pilots, so I think I may need to make a trip there in a future.

But when I saw you peacefully "drifting" on approach, against the winds, I just couldn't help, but try a bit more extreme variant ;)

Thanks Lukasz! Definitely go check out that simulator, they're great IFR learning tools and great ways to debute the learning of certain emergency procedures like Spins. Wow that was quite a cross wind, I especially liked the helicopter-like landing :lol:
