This channel was created by a group of passionate real life aviators with a love of simulators and gaming. We aim to help you understand any forms of fixed wing aviation better or to pick up flight training basics. The videos we provide are either for demonstration purposes, or even (by qualified flight instructors) to allow some level of learning or teaching relevant to your real life experience. We're also here to review new products (especially MSFS but also X-Plane content) and to give a real life, in-depth viewpoint on whether they're worth picking up!
With help from myself, Jimbo (737 FO, former Q400 Captain and former instructor) Kittykami (737 FO and instructor) and others, we aim to produce a wide range of real life fixed wing procedures and understanding from light aircraft to airliners.

Just a little correction, LFSN is owned by Liverpool flying school and not Ravenair. I did all my PPL training in a Tomahawk at Liverpool. LFSU actually says above the reg "Liverpool flying school" and not Ravenair, assuming Ravenair have not purchased them from LFS. Both SN & SU verified as Liverpool flying school aircraft by the CAA aircraft register
Do you have to pay for the 750 navigation?
There’s a free version and a paid version with more features.
In the U.S. they called the Bonanza “the doctor killer” because they would over stress the tail until it folded.
Sporty! It’s a simulation, exactly where you should enjoy some sportiness without endangering yourself. I’m going to buy it. Crosswind landings in this plane… wing low, or crab-n-kick? p.s. I love trains too.
Oh yes, rather less consequences for hitting the ground in a desktop sim! You can use either method, though I always taught crabbing and kicking as the main crosswind technique since I found students picked it up more easily.
@@FlyFromHome Yes I found it completely natural from the beginning, but it seems to have gone out of favor, officially.
That’s strange, because it’s still the method used to land most swept wing jet transport aircraft and many others too! I used to make sure students had an understanding of both methods but they always seemed to prefer crabbing it in.
@@FlyFromHome For example, the current FAA Airplane Flying Handbook, “The wing-low method is recommended in most cases, although a combination of both methods may be used.”
I love the gauges, the speed and altitude gauges are amazing, never saw better looking and simulated gauges in any sim until todad. Wow... i hope this will be standard...
Great video, and I, for one, loved the subtitles, as Tended to miss important stuff when the aircraft sounds are too loud. I had the JF PA-38 Tomhawk since launch and never know it had a timer, primer or check list 😂 so you really do learn a lot from a real flight instructor. Regards a flight I have gone from Whitewaltham aerodrome, up to Liverpool Airports and back which takes hour and a half each way, or flight around London again another hours and a half round trip. But Tomahawk needed constant attention. But I'm not sure I have the patience to go further than this.
Thank you, glad the subtitles helped 😊 Yeah long trips in the Tomahawk are tiring to say the least.
Excellent stream. Your channel really does deserve more views from those of us fascinated by flying but will never have to opportunity to do it for real. Question I have for you is about the STAR. You mentioned that you were going to file the STAR into Cardiff but obviously could not meet the altitude requirements of 20,000ft for the start of it. Is it acceptable in the RW to file a STAR or a SID knowing you cannot meet the altitude requirements? Is it just a case of knowing you are above terrain and then descending with the arrival when it comes down and "meets" you so to speak?
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the VOD. It’s really just a case of the flight plan not being accepted by Eurocontrol unless you file a STAR for certain airports, whether or not you can comply with the restrictions. In reality ATC almost never makes you fly the full procedure and pulls you off at some convenient juncture to either join the hold or the approach.
Fantastic review also for learners. I like the fact that you talk through procedure steps and check list items on the model, reviewing and doing manoeuvres with all the instruments. Nicely done, thank you.
Sadly the autopilot is not working these days Don't recommend.
It's funny how real life C90 captain is struggling over finding FSB sign in 350 :D
Switches like that are often moved around in older aircraft - the 737s I fly have stuff all over the place. I suspect the ones on Nathan’s usual aircraft are in a different place.
@@FlyFromHome That is correct. Older C90 has FSB switch where the Master Cabin is now located, just where you were looking for it. 350 has it overhead :)
@AnaheimBN I believe Nathan actually flies a very new B250 with a G3000, but like I said, I’m not surprised that switches like that one are moved all over the cockpit to make way for other things.
Why did the engine failure? The plane has only 2 hours...
Um. Mooneys are sometimes called "Doctor Killers" because of the potential buyer and the laminar flow wing makes for high speed landings. A little discussion of "this ain't a plane for you if landings are a problem" would be helpful in assessing the a/c overall.
That phrase was actually coined by Bonanzas, not Mooneys. Specifically the V tail variant.
Great video guys SO valuable flying with guys with experience on type! Well done Sorry only discovered this now. Just FYI I think the visual approaches only come with the GTNxi which by now could be modelled by PMS. I have the TDS pro version and visual approaches are in there
Is the aircraft on xbox not same has pc one has somethings not working?
Engine start keys don't have physics. Very unrealistic.
Damn dude, you’re right. Absolutely game breaking. Better uninstall.
For engine adjustment in cruise, you must read the flight manual page 19!!!!! Bad adjustment during the entire flight!! Excessive consumption ! If you adjusted the engine, propeller, throttle, mixture, the engine would have better ideas!!! And we put our wings flat when we land !
We have a terrain radar and working circuit breakers now, and with some flight model updates, the yaw on takeoff is now properly simulated. Unfortunately Flyjsim refuses to implement the default NEXRAD based simulation, and insists on waiting for LR to release their own proper weather radar API before putting it into the Q4XP. Also XP users tend to value cabins a little more than P3D/MSFS ones do. Nice video Update: Shared flight, which was originally developed by Flyjsim, is now available for free. So that counts I guess.
I had to give a thumbs down for all the extra taking, the constant moving of the mouse moved very fast and was dizzying. 15 minutes before you start the engine. I hope you're doing better at this by now. 20 minutes to get to the take-off point.
My Brunner flight controls don’t work on the COWS DA-42. I hope they fix that issue
Guys I love this plane but its got me pulling my hair out at the moment. I can't see the pushback tug anymore. It can still pushback with shift p but no little truck :(... I have tried uninstalling clearing community folders etc everything short of a complete re-install which on my connection is a 12 hour job... Long shot I know but anyone experienced this and knows a fix :)
You might be better off asking on the Flysimware Discord server if you have an account. The devs are very active on there.
@@FlyFromHome Ty for the reply :)
There's just one thing I miss and that is the option of a more modern autopilot which can be used for IFR flying
Amazing aircraft. A2A recorded the ground sounds by towing a Comanche behind a vehicle. Shows the dedication to accuracy.
Yeah I saw that video! Top effort.
Very sad they didn't implement the Garmin control panel down below the pedestal :( As a VR flyer that would have made things so much easier.
Is anyone able to understand a word Nathan says?
Technical note, but every time you move your view around the video goes absolutely potato, Is that a YT thing or how it was recorded? I've set the video quality to max in YT but it still does it.
Yeah it’s the joy of OBS I’m afraid. Every time it updates it resets your settings and the bitrate options are so esoteric you need a degree in advanced computer science just to get it to record. I sorted it out for the next video but then it decided to ruin my audio settings 🤣
Does this Aircraft and MSFS have a 3D cockpit with 6 DOF as DCS has?
I believe it’s a similar setup, yes.
No atc?!?
I flew the Piper Pa28 for over 20 years. It is a superlative aircraft
Yep, they’re great little aeroplanes.
Your aircraft reviews are a must watch for me. No one else goes into the great depth you do. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Your kind words are very much appreciated 😊
Great video. Agree completely on the price. That said, I bought it anyway for nostalgia as I learned to fly in one irl. At the time it seemed exotic with its low wing and T tail, compared to the cessna 150s the competing flying school had 😂
Haha, they suckered you in with the T-tail cool factor! Hope you enjoy flying it!
Well presented as usual, well done! Love just flight, but this one was an easy no.
Thank you!
Another fantastic video. Missed Nathan phoning it in from 40,000ft ;) - Thank you for making and sharing this video. She's too slow for me for the sim but what a joy to watch you fly her!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I figured it might be a bit of a niche product for most, but I’ve enjoyed my time with it.
I was really looking forward to this plane, first one I ever flew IRL. However, I am on Xbox and after purchase I immediately got it refunded as it doesn’t run smoothly on console at all. Heavy frame loss, black avionics and just like a slide show in use. I think it’s due to the heavy use of 8k textures throughout, such a shame and I wish they had included 4K models for the console release
That’s disappointing! Hopefully they fix that for console players.
I’m on the Xbox series X and having none of those problems with the Tomahawk, so I assume you are on the S. (Sorry to hear that). I am though having ABOs and inability to mount the EFB with the new C414AW Chancellor at many airports. Maybe try cutting back on the settings.
@@flybeeson7950 I’m on series X too, and as you know we can’t really adjust much. I’ve also had some issues with the 414 but it is usually OK with EFB and black screens at heavy airports. For the PA38 I loaded in at the default Shoreham, and it was basically a slide show for a bit, then it got smoother for a bit. Then on take off it was just unusable. I do run the seafront simulations south east boats addon but this doesn’t cause issues with other aircraft. I usually use Shoreham for new aircraft as it’s so basic. I even tried rebooting the console but the same effect so I requested a refund and uninstalled it. Strange you have no issues, but then that is MSFS on console, some people have never had a crash to the Home Screen or black avionics, others get them all the time..
@@alanharris2799 Yes, it is strange that we are both on Series X and yet have different problems with different aircraft. I don't know much about this issue technically. I usually just watch CZcams videos and get advice from them and I also find that Discord is useful. If you like we could exchange information via email on our respective settings and add-ons to try and see which ones might be making a difference wrt memory problems e.g. CTDs, avionics blackouts and stutters. I've got quite a lot of information on spreadsheets. I tried flying from Shoreham to Goodwood EGHR (Burning BD) and back in the Tomahawk this afternoon and it was fine, just a few slight stutters taking off from Goodwood. On the other hand I'm still having problems with the C414. I tried flying from Shoreham to Goodwood in a GNS530 livery and the GPS course didn't load into the GNS (or VFR Map), also the EFB wouldn't mount. I then tried Salcombe EGZY (my local very basic airport) to Shoreham and everything worked fine. Same with Salcombe to Goodwood. We may have other planes in common in our hangars, so if there is anything you would like me to test out I'd be happy to do so.
@@alanharris2799 Yes, it is strange that people on the Series X have different problems with different planes. I tried flying from Shoreham to Goodwood (EGHR) [by Burning BD] and back yesterday in the Tomahawk and had no issues apart from slight stutters when taking off from Goodwood. On the other hand I did have problems again with the C414. I tried to fly from Shoreham to Goodwood first (in one of the GNS530 liveries) but when I spawned in from the World Map the GPS course had not transferred to the Garmin (or VFR Map) - just got a black screen, and I also could not mount the EFB. I then tried my local airport Salcombe (EGZY) [which is even more basic than Shoreham] to Shoreham with no such problems. Also I had no problems with Salcombe to Goodwood, but when I tried Shoreham to Goodwood the power button on the EFB did not work. I was wondering if you would like to exchange information via email on our MSFS settings and add-ons to see if we can work out possible ways to avoid CTDs, stutters and avionics blackouts etc.? I am no expert on the subject and so far I have just been guided by videos on CZcams plus information on Discord. I have several of the high spec GA aircraft in my hangar and would be happy to run tests my system.
The subtitles were actually good as I took notes on the stall & spin sections which you covered really well. Now to practice! Great video on a wonderful aircraft. Thanks a lot.
Good to hear!
I was waiting this Tomahawk since long time. Number one on my wishlist even if there are very few remaining in Europe. The last flying here in Switzerland crashed on take off about seven years ago. Many more remakning in NZ and UK. JF, as usual, has made a fantastic paintkit and I will do my favoured livery quite easily.
There aren’t many left in the UK now either! Hope you enjoy it.
I’ve seen a lot of videos on this release but this is the most informative. I also started my training in this before moving to a 150.
Thank you! Which of the two did you prefer? 🤔
@@FlyFromHome both had advantages and disadvantages. The Cessna was easier to trim and fly. I know that because my flight instructor shut the fuel off at about two thousand feet. The engine quit and when I looked at him he said “don’t look at me go through the emergency procedures and restart the engine.” He was a hands on kind of guy. I loved the Tomahawk because I thought if you could master it you got a pretty good education on the basics.
Interesting you mention unstable. I did one flying lesson, it was one of these at my local windy Wellington international Airport in NZ. Now it was rather windy, but it was such a wild beast to handle as we flew over the hills into the city from the south it scared the crap out of me and I asked the instructor to take control. Kinda put me off
Wellington is known for its strong wind. Learning to fly in such condition during school is very useful, because then when you will fly solo you know that is not that terrible. I am a glider pilot and on my airport we have sometimes the Phöen, a very strong northern warm wind coming from the Alps.
Yeah that’s a story I’ve heard repeated many times where the Tomahawk is concerned. Hope you weren’t put off learning to fly!
I watched the whole thing but I always watch your whole videos. I think you called it about the pricing. For me, the Arrows and certainly the Comanche, are all the high fidelity, piston singles I need. Plus, I really love piston twins anyway. Anxiously waiting for your review of the Duke when it finally comes out. I'm thinking it'll probably be a two hour plus video. 😜
Yep, the Arrows and the Comanche are by far my preferred piston singles too. Duke review is on the way soon, don’t worry!
Absolutely wonderful review of this beautiful airplane. Thanks for sharing it. And I also watched the entire video, start-to-finish. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!

You are so welcome!
Another fantastic video FFH. Thank you. I think I need to get this one and get over my love of steam gauges and enter the modern world :) Would love to see your MSFS settings one day, looks like you have the sim running and looking great currently... 'a bit of scuff never harmed anyone' :)
This is honestly my favourite glass cockpit aircraft in the sim, it’s a joy to fly. I just clicked ‘ultra’ on the settings and left it there 😅 Having a good processor is key to making the most of MSFS I think.
I don't think I'll ever be done upgrading. I'm now looking at a larger screen and dreaming of a force feedback yoke.. Sim runs great here too, always interested in how other people have theirs set up when it looks this good!
Great video
Thanks!
Why are hydraulic landing gear systems more reliable? Is it because as long as the fluid is pressurized, the gear will extend, even if the alternator calls it quits.
Pretty much, although most light aircraft systems require the *lack* of pressure to allow the gear to drop, so the emergency extension is a simple valve which releases pressure back into the reservoir. Electric landing gear emergency extension usually involves manually disconnecting the motor then driving the gear down with some kind of crank.
No civilized territory uses millibars on an altimeter. The Ovation will be way into the 180’s for TAS if you are running that much power. Great airplane. Mine has TKS and all glass cockpit. Onboard O2 as well.
‘Civilised territory’ huh? 🤣 They look like an awesome aircraft, I’d love a go in a real one!
@@FlyFromHome great airplane
Disagree about not knowing about engine failure if you understand the normal feelings. 2nd engine is all the difference surely missed.
You’d probably feel the loss of thrust, yeah. But having never experienced it I wouldn’t know!
