Scenario-Based Training with X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator: Using PC-Based Flight Simulations Based on FAA-Industry Training Standards
Bruce WilliamsAlthough
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.
