Microsoft Flight Simulator X for Pilots: Real World Training (Paperback)

Synopsis

Get ready to take flight as two certified flight instructors guide you through the pilot ratings as it is done in the real world, starting with Sport Pilot training, then Private Pilot, followed by the Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, and Air Transport Pilot. They cover the skills of flight, how to master Flight Simulator, and how to use the software as a learning tool towards your pilot’s license. More advanced topics demonstrate how Flight Simulator X can be used as a continuing learning tool and how to simulate real–world emergencies.

It′s the next best thing to being up there

Why use Microsoft Flight Simulator for real–world flight training? Because it gives you the best possible head start and enables you to learn at your convenience. Flight Simulator provides scenario–based training that lets you practice handling almost any situation. It offers advantages you don′t even get in a real plane—the option to set up any kind of weather or equipment failures, stop midway and redo a procedure, or get the view from outside the airplane. FSX isn′t a game. It′s a training mission for virtual and real aviators alike.
