We'll be flying using Visual Flight Rules, navigating purely by compass and externallandmarks, but don't worry - the route is extremely simple to follow. For this tutorial flight we'll beusing a simplified set of checklists to help you get flying.

This sturdy helicopter is a firm favourite with pilots andorganisations around the world. Whatever the task, from pleasure flying to police operations and thenews media ‘eyes in the sky’, this dependable aircraft is pressed into service.For this tutorial we will be flying the skid-equipped R44 on a picturesque flight across Oahu.Starting at the Marine Corps airfield at Kaneohe Bay (PHNG), we will head west before following thecoast to the north and making our landing at Dillingham Airfield (PHDH).Getting startedGet started by loading the helicopter (the R44 with landing skids and whichever livery you prefer)into Flight Simulator and choosing Kaneohe Bay (PHNG) as your departure airport. For the purposesof this tutorial any suitable location at the airport will make a good starting point. This airfield is wellequipped for helicopter operations and there are a number of available helipads as well as plenty ofroom on the tarmac. With this airport normally reserved for the military, special permission isrequired for civilian operations, but we’ll presume that we have already received clearance from theappropriate virtual authorities to use the helicopter facilities.Once you have the helicopter on the ground in your preferred parking area, it’s worth saving theflight in Flight Simulator to ensure that this tutorial can be reloaded with the minimum of fuss.We would also advise you to disable all weather generation and AI traffic from the Flight Simulatormenus. Weather, traffic and Air Traffic Control would only create additional workload, and our aimhere is to concentrate on flying the helicopter without distractions.Fuel the aircraft in the included Aerotools menu - a full fuel load will be just fine. If you wish to flysolo or with company, adjusting the passenger weight (also in the Aerotools menu) will automaticallyadd or remove the passenger.External pre-flight checks and the helicopter controlsA full external inspection should also acquaint you with the fine lines of this popular chopper.(All checklist items referred to here are in BOLD type.) The limitations of Flight Simulator mean thatsome checklist items cannot be followed within the simulation, so we shall either omit these itemsor mark them as (REFERENCE ONLY) when the item is of interest but not fully functional withinthe simulation.R44 Helicopter2223
