We’re on the seventh and final leg of our flight from Augusta (KAGS), in middle Georgia, down to the Bahamas! We landed at Palm Beach International (KPBI) at night so that we can get an early start out over the ocean. With all of our papers in order and floatation devices on board, it's time to head out over the ocean for the South Bimini Airport (MYBS) in the Bahamas.

In this episode, we add some excitement to the over water flight by setting up several random failures in the default failures of XPlane 11. Then we fly our course and watch carefully for any of our systems to go offline. Do you think we'll make it there in one piece?

Over this series of flights, we’ll spend each leg looking at some of the various features of XPlane and the Airfoillabs Cessna 172 as well as discussing some aviation concepts along the way.

Make the most out of your flight simulator experience or use the flight simulator to practice as a student pilot or beyond. Note that while the features of this unit in XPlane closely mimic those of the real unit, there are some differences. This tutorial should be used for XPlane purposes only. However, gaining a familiarity with this system will likely aid in your transition to units in the airplane.
