Scenario-Based Training with X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator

Beschreibung

Watch your flight training program take off You want to learn to fly. While there's no substitute for a qualified instructor and practice in a real airplane, PC-based simulations can help you develop the skills that build confidence. When you work through this book's scenario-based exercises using either X-Plane or Microsoft Flight Simulator, you'll be better prepared for certification as a private pilot with an instrument rating. You're also going to have a lot of fun. Scenario-Based Training is an interactive, guided tour through the process of learning to think like a pilot. With this book, you can * Learn from the FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS) approach to flight training * Explore official pilot handbooks and guides from top aviation training and safety experts * Perfect fundamental flying skills with real-world scenarios * Experience computer equipment and accessories that enhance PC-based flight simulations * Find out how to install, set up, and optimize X-Plane and FSX * Gain experience dealing with a wide variety of variables, including weather, terrain, airport environments, and equipment failures * Practice whenever you like Attention flight instructors and virtual aviators Scenario-Based Training helps instructors include simulation in training programs, and it adds a new dimension to virtual flying for simulation enthusiasts. Go to www.wiley.com/go/flightsimulatortraining to find resources for setting up and using X-Plane and FSX, situation and flight files, official FAA pilot-training handbooks, charts to help you plan your flights, and much more. Using PC-Based Flight Simulations Based on FAA-Industry Training Standards
Fly toward pilot certification with these real-world scenario exercises Although PC-based flight simulations have been available for 30 years, many pilots, instructors, and flight schools don't understand how best to use these tools in real-world flight training and pilot proficiency programs. This invaluable reference bridges the gap between simulation tools and real-world situations by presenting hands-on, scenario-based exercises and training tips for the private pilot certificate and instrument rating. As the first of its kind based on FAA-Industry Training Standards (FITS), this book steers its focus on a scenario-based curriculum that emphasizes real-world situations. Experienced pilot and author Bruce Williams ultimately aims to engage the pilot, reinforce the "realistic" selling point of PC-based flight simulations, while also complementing the FAA-approved FITS syllabi. * Serves as essential reading for pilots who want to make effective use of simulation in their training while expanding their skill level and enjoyment of flying * Covers private pilot real-world scenarios and instrument rating scenarios * Includes a guide to recommended websites and other resources * Features helpful charts as well as a glossary You'll take off towards pilot certification with this invaluable book by your side.
