The X-Plane 11 autopilot system made it easy to manage the aircraft's flight path, allowing me to focus on navigation and monitoring the instruments. I engaged the autopilot and autothrottle, feeling the aircraft settle into a steady cruise.
With clearance from air traffic control, I taxied out to Runway 23L and began the takeoff roll. The ATR 72-600 accelerated smoothly, lifting off the ground and climbing away from the airport. I leveled off at 5,000 feet and set a course for Rotorua.
As I taxied to the apron, I received a message from air traffic control about a sudden change in wind direction. I quickly adjusted the aircraft's configuration to compensate for the new wind, feeling the ATR 72-600 respond eagerly to my inputs.
As I started up the engines, the familiar sound of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M turboprops filled the air. I completed the pre-flight checks, feeling the satisfying clicks and whirs of the aircraft's systems coming online.
