Microsoft Flight Simulator as a Training Aid

This is the eBook (epub) edition of this title.
Bruce Williams takes Microsoft® Flight Simulator to its highest level as a flight training tool; his book is a guide for anyone who wants to maximize their real or virtual cockpit experience while learning more efficiently with less stress. The book and companion CD provide general suggestions, specific advice, and practical tools for making effective use of Microsoft® Flight Simulator, regardless of the type of flying you do--students, certificated pilots, flight instructors, and virtual aviators will all benefit from Bruce’s teaching.

This book merges the two worlds of flight simulation (gaming) with flight training--the only book of its kind on how to use the world’s most popular flight simulator as a true aid to becoming a pilot or teaching flight. Practice doesn’t necessarily make skills perfect, but it can make them permanent. The practice flights included, and guidance on how to best fly them, make it easy to use Microsoft® Flight Simulator to practice specific skills, from basic flight maneuvers to instrument approaches. The CD also includes reference documents, charts, and other tools to transform virtual flying into an inexpensive, flexible, and effective learning environment.
