"Bruce Williams takes Flight Simulator to its highest level as a flight
training tool. This is a guide for anyone wanting to maximize their real or
virtual cockpit experience..." - Rod Machado, aviation author,
flight instructor, speaker and official flight instructor for Microsoftï¾’s Flight
Simulator
Bruce williams takes Microsoft Flight Simulator to its highest level as a
flight training tool. Applicable to both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A
Century of Flight (Version 9) and Microsoft Flight Simulator X (Version 10),
this is a guide for anyone who wants to maximize their real or virtual cockpit
experience while learning more efficiently with less stress, and having more
money left in the bank at checkride time. This book and accompanying 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 Bruceï¾’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 doesnï¾’t
necessarily make skills perfect, but it can make them permanent. The weighty
assortment of practice flights included, and the guidance on how to best fly
them, make it easy for any pilot or instructor - real or virtual - to attain the
highest level of flight proficiency they seek.
Although many pilots and instructors have used Microsoft Flight Simulator
during their flying careers and may have been inspired to pursue flight training
by their early encounters with the program, often they don't know how to get the
most out of the experience of virtual flying today. This book will change that.

spent with Microsoft Flight Simulator is fun and educational.
Hereï¾’s how Microsoft Flight Simulator as a Training Aid helps

enhance book-learning, review specific concepts and skills, and in prepare
for formal flight instruction.
- Certificated Pilots can complement real-world flying with
additional hours in the virtual skies, upgrading flying skills and learning
about advanced aircraft and procedures.
- Flight Instructors will discover new ways to use Flight
Simulator as a teaching tool in ground school classes and pre- and
post-flight briefings.
- Virtual Aviators (Flight Simulator hobbyists) will learn
more about real-world flying and enhance their enjoyment of virtual flying.

Excellent publication. I used the information in Chapter 14 to develop my own
IFR practice flights. The flights are based on my local flying area and are a
great IFR procedures training aid! Thanks - Col Dave Barnhart
