> In fact during my flight training my experience with simulators imparted a few low-level bad habits I had to work through when it came to operating the controls. When I first started flying my instructor specifically recommended against flight sims for that very reason. Now that I have my PPL I only use them to practice approaches for new airports that I’ve never visited before and to familiarize myself with the cockpit layout for planes I haven’t flown before. It helps build some minor muscle memory so I can focus on the harder parts of flying.
