Often yes when the session meets FAA rules and the proper record is kept. Confirm your exact situation before relying on it.

Do not log TD2 time as airplane PIC flight time. Use the appropriate simulator/device columns.

FAA rules allow ATDs for certain instrument recency tasks when the required tasks and records are completed.

For some goals yes, especially training time or certificate/rating credit. Solo practice may still be valuable but may not meet every logging requirement.

Yes, it is useful for flows, approaches, holds, emergencies, and workload management. It does not replace required aircraft tasks.

Navigator supports saved flights. Save useful setups with clear names and tags.

Yes. Pause when briefing, fixing a setup issue, or discussing a procedure.

Yes. You can practice ILS, VOR/LOC, RNAV/GPS, and missed approach procedures depending on the configured aircraft/avionics.

Failures may be available through instructor/staff tools or scenario controls. Ask staff if you need a specific failure.

Possibly if the simulator is configured with compatible output such as Redbird Corvus/Connect. Ask staff for the current setup.

Some TD/TD2 Free Flight options may include high performance, retractable gear, or constant-speed propeller. Use the configuration that matches your training goal.

Yes. Set time of day to night or dusk for lighting and instrument scan practice.

Yes. Use Free Flight weather settings before starting the flight.

Yes, if the weather panel includes gust settings. Start light before adding strong gusts.

Yes. Use light or moderate turbulence after you can fly the procedure in calm air.

Yes. Set cloud coverage to broken or overcast and choose an appropriate cloud base.

Yes. Lower visibility for IFR or marginal VFR practice.

Yes. Use the G1000 flight plan/OBS or a navaid setup and brief entries before starting.

Yes. Load the approach, set weather below minimums, and fly the published missed.

Yes, but choose one emergency at a time. Use instructor/staff assistance for complex failures.

Yes. Chair-fly the calls aloud even if no live ATC is connected.

Yes. Use clear weather and a runway start.

Yes. Free Flight can start airborne for approaches, intercepts, or airwork.

Yes. Choose airport and runway from Free Flight.

Use only flights intended for shared use. Avoid deleting or changing someone else’s saved scenario.

Check Navigator device status. If required devices are not green, notify staff.

Use the pause/unpause control in Navigator or the assigned pause key.

Set pitch and power first, then trim in small movements.

Disconnect if needed, hand-fly, then verify CDI source and active modes.

Course Deviation Indicator. It shows whether you are left or right of the selected course.

Use GPS for magenta-line GPS navigation and RNAV practice.

Use NAV/LOC for VOR, localizer, or ILS practice with a tuned frequency.

OBS lets you manually select a course to/from a GPS waypoint, useful for holds and intercepts.

The left primary screen showing attitude, airspeed, altitude, heading, and nav guidance.

The map/system screen used for flight planning, maps, nearest pages, and system information.

Yes. Loading prepares it. Activating tells the G1000 to start navigating it now.

Use it when practicing ATC-style vectors. Use an IAF/transition when practicing the full published procedure.

Yes. Set wind 30 to 60 degrees off the runway heading and start with moderate speeds.

Use only if appropriate for the simulator profile and your training objective. Brief recovery first.

You can practice scan, flows, and procedures, but verify what credit applies.

Yes, and an instructor is recommended when the goal is loggable training or proficiency signoff.

Yes. It is useful for checklists, scan, radio practice, pattern work, and instrument introduction.

Yes. It is especially useful for approaches, holds, missed approaches, and avionics practice.

Yes. Practice flows and avionics before the aircraft lesson to reduce cockpit workload.

No. It supports training and proficiency but does not replace aircraft tasks that must be done in an airplane.

You can print pages from your browser, but the guide is designed for phone/tablet use at the simulator.

End the flight, leave controls in a normal position, collect your items, and record any logbook details while fresh.

Use the troubleshooting page first. If the simulator still does not behave normally, contact LTS staff.

No. Customer sessions should not change simulator admin settings, passwords, updates, or device configuration.
