From the log

Three questions over Noronha.

Straight from the flight log, 19 September 2026, around Fernando de Noronha, 350 km off the coast of Brazil. Each answer arrived while the island was still in the window.

How long would it take from here to the mainland, to Brazil?«Quanto tempo será que dá pra, daqui até o continente, Brasil?»

From here to the Brazilian mainland it's about 350 km in a straight line. At your current 227 knots, that's roughly 50 minutes of flying.

16:45:20 · HDG 089° · 702 FT AGL

And this beach down here?«E essa praia aqui embaixo?»

That's Praia do Leão, one of the wildest beaches on Noronha: pale sand, strong surf, and sea turtles that come ashore at night to lay their eggs.

16:46:55 · HDG 095° · 1,090 FT AGL

And that rock up ahead, what is it? What's it called?«E aquela pedra ali à frente, que que é? Qual é o nome dela?»

That's Morro do Pico, the highest point on Fernando de Noronha at 323 metres and the island's best-known landmark. From here you can see its shape, like a finger pointing at the sky.

What she does

A friend in the right seat.

Knows where you're looking^*

A small module inside the sim tells her where your head is pointed. “That church on the left” means the one you're actually looking at.

The real world, anywhere

She looks places up in real-world maps, not the simulator's labels, so it works over Tokyo, the Amazon or a village you've never heard of.

A map on your tablet

Say where you want to go. The destination drops onto the EFB map with a line, distance and ETA, and she calls the heading on the same compass you read.

Hands stay on the stick

One push-to-talk button on your HOTAS. No keyboard, no menus. Made for VR, where you can't see your keyboard, and just as easy on a monitor.

“Track, roll the intro.” She welcomes your viewers and presents the region you're about to fly. Ask for a story and she'll tell one about the place below.

Speaks your language

Ask in your own language and she answers in it, in nine languages:

^* Seeing exactly what you see works best over photogrammetry scenery. Where the sim has no photogrammetry, she triangulates the map with the direction you're looking.

Not ATC. Not an autopilot.She never touches the controls and never talks to the tower. You fly; she's the one who knows what that is down there.

Postcards from the right seat
