Book Review: Microsoft Flight Simulator X For Pilots Real World Training
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book to anyone that is serious about flying and wanting to obtain their Sport or Private Pilots License. This book begins with a simple explanation of how aircraft work and what makes them fly and takes you through the steps to get you airborne and flying.
The book continues teaching you flight maneuvers, what to do in the case of emergencies and how to anticipate emergencies and act to prevent them from happening in the first place.
The book teaches you to operate all the equipment inside an aircraft from the standard 6 pack of instruments, (Airspeed Indicator, Attitude Indicator, Altimeter, Vertical Speed Indicator, Heading Indicator, Turn Coordinator) to the advanced glass panels being found in aircraft today.
The book teaches you to use the radio stack (Audio Panel, COM1/NAV1, COM2/NAV2, Automatic Direction Finder [ADF], Distance Measuring Equipment [DME], Transponder and Auto Pilot) for basic navigation before continuing on to teach you to use both the Garmin GPS 500 and the state-of-the-art Garmin GPS 1000 for straight line navigation from one place to another.
It helps you to understand how to read and use aviation charts, teaches you how to fly in Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and advanced flying techniques.
What is more, the book uses flights / missions that are all ready set up and downloadable from the web for free to fly missions teaching you various points in the book. The flights are easy to understand, fun to fly and teach you a great deal about what flying in real aircraft are like.
If you are looking to get your Pilots License or just want to know and use all the same tools and techniques that pilots use, get this book. You won't be sorry!!!
