FlightGear aircraft features, quality, and compatibility vary significantly. Their development is dependent on the [[volunteer]]s who worked on them, with exception of some University and Government funded projects. | FlightGear aircraft features, quality, and compatibility vary significantly.

The Cessna 172 is the default aircraft in FGFS 1.0. These aircraft typically have 1-2 piston engines, props, and avionics geared towards those with civilian pilot licenses. | The Cessna 172 is the default aircraft in FGFS 1.0.

These typically have 2-4 turbofan engines and some of the more complicated takeoff and landing procedures (such as multiple [[flaps]]). In addition, avionics in real life is geared towards those with professional pilots licenses and special certifications. However, the simplifications of FG make it much easier to fly in the simulation. | These typically have 2-4 turbofan engines and some of the more complicated takeoff and landing procedures (such as multiple [[flaps]]).
