Book description
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.
