CBTs linked in an issues milestone.

- mdaniel 3y ago> CBTs I wasn't familiar with what that acronym meant in the context of X-Plane but it seems to be "Computer Based Training", and after watching one of them I'm thankful for the 2x playback rate on youtube because whew
- DarkmSparks 3y agonoted, I change the title to make that clearer. CBTs are/should be the starting point to play with any of the "big planes" (anything that needs an ATPL licence to fly), because the systems are pretty complex and unique to the aircraft, they aren't like cars that when you've driven one you can drive them all (licences are actually specific to aircraft designs, known as type ratings)
- t0mas88 3y agoAirlines call them CBT as well, although it's really "iPad based training" at most airlines. For flight sim hobby you can definitely watch CBT at 2x speed and just grasp a high level view on what buttons to press. But for real world flying you need the level of detail you see in CBT. For example you really want to know what happens when you loose specific hydraulics systems and how things like accumulators can affect that. Because it could be that you only have the brakes work for a few applications (using accumulator pressure). Definitely not a good idea to taxi after landing like that.
