Have you ever dreamed of flying to Airventure Oshkosh? It’s been a dream of mine, so we’re gonna take the flight in the Airfoillabs Cessna 172 in X-Plane 11.

Over this series of flights, we’ll spend each leg looking at some of the various features of X-Plane 11 and the Airfoillabs Cessna 172 as well as discussing some aviation concepts along the way.

In this first leg, we depart from Nashville, Tennessee (KBNA), and head towards Oshkosh, making our first stop in Louisville, Kentucky (KSDF). I’ll show you how I set up the default Airfoillabs Cessna 172 checklist to be accessed with easy key commands. Then we’ll look at how to install and configure XChecklist, a great plugin for X-Plane that allows you to input custom checklist files and even have it be read by your “copilot.” Finally, we make our flight, highlighting the various checklists from start to finish to give you a good idea of what the items on the checklists mean.

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 X-Plane closely mimic those of the real unit, there are some differences. This tutorial should be used for X-Plane purposes only. However, gaining a familiarity with this system will likely aid in your transition to units in the airplane.
