Does MS Flight Simulator Help with my pilots license?

Question by southbysouthwest1: Does MS Flight Simulator Help with my pilots license?
Hello,
I will be attending a private pilots lessons (for VFR) in January and just wondering if playing Microsoft Flight Simulator will give me an edge (I’m thinking about purchasing it). Thank you for your inputs. Also, I’m in the Air Force and have been around aircraft (even flown in several) for the last 6 years.

Best answer:

Answer by alien_sporez
I’m not sure it will help a lot, but it will certainly allow you to be familiar with the layout and behaviors of some of the aircraft, especially if the simulator has the same type of aircraft you’ll be training on. For decades, pilots have trained on simulators, so it must work. It certainly would help you, but make sure you don’t rely on it as your source of flight instruction. Remember, it is first-and-foremost A GAME. That’s like using Gran Turismo on the Xbox to take a driver’s test.

Flight Simulator X [HD] Toncontin Honduras / Boeing 737-300 Continental Airlines Landing

Toncontín International Airport (IATA: TGU, ICAO: MHTG) or Teniente Coronel Hernán Acosta Mejía Airport is a civil and military airport that serves Tegucigalpa, Honduras. It is located 6 km (4 mi) from the center of Tegucigalpa. The airport received much notoriety as being one of the most dangerous in the world due to its proximity to mountainous terrain, its short runway, and its historically difficult approach to runway 02. For years efforts have been made to replace it with Soto Cano airport in Comayagua, currently an airbase. Toncontín has, however, been significantly improved by the work of Airport Corporation of Tegucigalpa (ACT) and InterAirports, a company contracted by the Honduran government to administer the country’s four major airports. The airport has a single asphalt runway, which sits at an elevation of 1005 m (3297 ft) AMSL. Until May 2009 the runway was only 6112 ft (1863 m) in length. In 2007 the approach to runway 02 was made significantly easier by work which systematically bulldozed a large portion of the hillside, immediately before the threshold. Following on from this work, in May 2009, the southern end of the runway received a 984 ft (300 m) extension, lengthening it to 7096 ft (2163 m). As of 2011 the runway is listed as being 2021 × 45 m (6631 × 148 ft). The History Channel program Most Extreme Airports, ranks it as the second most dangerous airport in the world.
