Microsoft Flight Simulator as a Training Aid

(This is not a flight simulator. It is a companion book and cd to be used in conjunction with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 or Flight Simulator X. In order to complete this course, you will need to already have Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 or Flight Simulator X. )

Microsoft® Flight Simulator has inspired many thousands of young “gamers” to pursue flight training in real life and has provided certificated pilots with countless hours of entertainment. And even though there is an awareness that PC-based simulations—and Microsoft Flight Simulator in particular—are helpful as aids in flight training and pilot proficiency, for many it is still unclear how best to benefit from the experience of virtual flying.

Applicable to both Flight Simulator 2004 and Version X, this new book merges the “virtual world” of flight simulation with “real life” flight training. It is the only book of its kind because it provides specific advice and tools for pilots, flight instructors, and students who want to use the world's most popular PC-based flight simulation as an effective, easy-to-use training aid.

Provides pilots, flight instructors, and virtual aviators with tips and suggestions for getting the most out of the world's most popular flight simulator.
