An instructor will teach you how to properly set up the plane, check it for assembly errors, how to start it safely, show you how to handle it safely on the ground and in the air, get it (and you) in the air, show you how to trim the plane, demonstrate proper flying techniques including takeoff,climb, turns, landings and basic aerobatics. He will then debrief you after the flight and prepare you for the next flight. All this while making sure the plane remains in one piece.

How much of this will a simulator give you?
