In flight training there's sometimes quite a lot of waiting involved, for example when the other pilot from your flight group is in the air with your plane or when the weather doesn't aallow for immediate departure. What a better opportunity to catch up on some checklists, school SOP's and brush up on some theoretical knowledge...
Or alternatively, play with our nice flight simulator :)
The sim in question is a usual Microsoft Flight Simulator X, which is located in the crew lounge in our hangar. However, we have a nice, large flat-screen TV, a proper control yoke, a throttle quadrant and rudder pedals to enchance the feeling and realism.

In addition to playing with different airplanes and landscapes, you can actually benefit from the simulator. By choosing the Cessna 152 and Malmi airport it's easy and convenient to practice SOP's, checklists and other procedures especially in the traffic circuit. Everything works like in real world, with the exception of a real feel for the controls. Also, the pitch attitude compared to speed and power setting isn't quite there.
