Title: Poll: How do you fly?
Post by FlierForLife on Apr 6th, 2011 at 3:55pm
This is just a little poll i'd like to do because I am curious about other people's flight sim habits. Just answer these few questions and compare yours to others!   :)

1) Tricycle or taildragger?

2) Jet or prop?

3) Short runway or long runway?

4) Single engine or multi?

5) VFR or IFR?

Now being retired we both try to fly with another licenced aviator and we do a lot of grass root flying (flying off small grass strips, usually farmers fields with a strip or small bugsmasher fields), we also aviate off floats, amphibious floats and wheel skis when the opportunity arises.

We do not rent but we do borrow Mother Natures Sky... ;)

1) Both, with a small preference for taildraggers

2) Piston powered props mainly, turboprop rarely, jet very, very, very rarely if ever

3) Doesn't matter, as long the landing is not boring (the more challenging, the better)

4) Not an important parameter. I fly both indiscriminately as long they are worth it.

5) IFR mainly, VFR from time to time (but under X-plane, which is the best sim for VFR on the market right now)

8-)
