Flight Simulator (FS) Division

Take to the virtual skies with our exciting Flight Simulator event! Whether you’re an aspiring pilot or simply curious about the art of flying, this interactive experience is perfect for aviation enthusiasts of all levels.

What to Expect: We gather a group of students to dive into the world of aviation using Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) on Windows. With the help of advanced simulator gear – including yokes, rudder pedals, and throttle quadrants – you’ll experience the thrill of piloting a plane without ever leaving the ground. From takeoffs to landings, you’ll have the chance to control every aspect of a flight in a realistic and immersive environment.

Learn and Play: Whether you’re flying a Cessna 172 or navigating a commercial airliner, this event is designed to teach the fundamentals of flight while allowing for plenty of fun and experimentation. Guided by experienced aviation enthusiasts, you’ll learn basic concepts such as aerodynamics, instrument reading, and flight planning, all while enjoying the challenge of different weather conditions and scenarios.

Why Join?: This is a unique opportunity to explore the world of aviation in a hands-on, interactive way. Not only will you sharpen your skills and knowledge, but you’ll also bond with fellow students who share your passion for flying. No prior experience is necessary – just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to learn! Snacks may also be provided depending on the event.

When and Where: The event will be held at McGill, with all the necessary equipment provided. Whether you're testing your piloting skills or just curious about aviation, this experience is guaranteed to be both educational and fun.
