How Has Flight Simulation Helped Your Pilot Training? (lemmyfly.org)

Hey! I'm currently pursuing my Private Pilot License (PPL-A) and have been considering incorporating flight simulation into my study routine.

Has anyone found flight simulation to be a valuable part of their training, and if so, how specifically did you use it?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences and insights!

it helped me for sure in knowledge of instrumentation, navigation, atc phraseology, aerodynamics, those kind of things. I started gliding recently, actual plane handling is a complete different ball game - I don't touch the gliders in the sim because of learning the wrong things. But I think simulation really helps with getting more comfortable with all other aspects than actual flying.
