Hello, I am quite new to Infinite Flight and am still playing solo and before purchasing the pro subscription I wanted to try and get a checklist. I saw some old ones, but I didn’t know if they we’re any different now then they we’re.
Also, I don’t know when to descend or when to do what when I’m in the air so if you could help me out with that; then I will give you herbs for free.
Oh and if you have any app suggestions that are helpful to make it a better and easier or whatever experience.
Hey! Congratulations, you have made the best decision of your life by buying Infinite Flight.
When I started out, I also started with solo before moving onto Live. Flying solo is a great way to learn how to use Infinite flight before going into servers.
Before moving onto Live, you should make sure that you
Can Takeoff and land with crosswinds up to 15kts without crashing or rolling off the runway
Are able to create a flight plan (Not just a direct line from your airport to your destination)
Can and will taxi under 30kts
Can and will fly under 250kts when below 10,000ft
Can calculate your fuel needed (and not just putting 100% fuel)
Know how to taxi at an airport
I really urge you to check out the #tutorials section! It is really helpful
Well… you are supposed to use a seperate device that has that app on…
Do you not have any extra phone or tablet?
Also, if you have an iPad Pro, them you can use slide-over to access the app while flying.
You could also check out the VirtualHub app. I’m sure it’s on the community somewhere but it’s very helpful and can give you some help with a decent calculator, some airport charts, and a full flight planner.
As for when to descend, it’s quite easy. Basically drop the last 3 zero’s of your crusing altitude and then multiply by 3.
E.g- If you are crusing at 30,000 feet you would
drop the last 3 zero’s and multiply 30 by 3 giving you 90. Therefore, start your descent, 90nm before reaching your destination.
How fast to descend?
Two simple ways of figuring out how fast to descend. First way is simply taking your ground speed and multiplying it by 5.2. The other method is to take your airspeed, divide it by 2 and add a 0 to the end. Then set your VS to whatever you get as your answer.
E.g- Your groundspeed is 400 knots. For the first method just multiply 400 by 5.2 to get your descent rate. The other method is 400 divided by 2 which gives you 200. Then add a 0 which gives you 2000. Then set your VS for -2000fpm.
