It's also important to know the current stall angle, the angle of attack,
the
flight path vector, the airspeed and altitude trends, the V-speeds, the
upper
and lower airspeed limits, the current track, the current route, the
current
vertical profile, the current heading, the expected top of descent, and
about
a zillion other things that a private pilot isn't likely to see in a tiny
Cessna.

But you know them all because you play a computer game?

I know a lot of them from flight simulation. And a Cessna 152 pilot who has
flown only that aircraft and never does simulation or study of any other
aircraft will not know about them.

How can I put this...

If I was in an aircraft and the choice was between you and someone who
had actually flown a real aircraft... If you got too pushy you'd be out
the door son...
