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

You Can Afford To Be A Pilot: How To Become A Pilot And Fly For Fun On A Middle Income Budget
Advanced Flight Training Featuring the North American AT-6 SNJ “Texan” DVD: Nine Films and AT-6/SNJ Flight Manual
Nine Advanced Flight Training films & pilot’s manual * Preflight Walk Around *Takeoffs, Approaches & Landings * Small Fields * Cross Winds * Emergencies * Wingovers & Chandelles * Wingover Rolls * Barrel Rolls * Formation Flying *44-page North American AT6/SNJ/Harvard pilot’s handbook. A great overview from the Department of the Navy intended for all services. Probably the most produced “Advanced Trainer” in history,used by both the US Air Corps (AT-6) and the Navy (SNJ) and by many other nations as the “Harvard.” Renowned for her nimble, forgiving handling, it’s only natural that this was the aircraft chosen when a double was needed for the Japanese Zero in numerous war movies and TV shows, including “Ba Ba Black Sheep” and “Tore Tora Tora!” This is the ship that thousands of pilots used to master more advanced skills before climbing into a real fighter. A “must have” for all AT-6/SNJ pilots & owners! Pilot’s manual is on the DVD in Adobe Acrobat .pdf file format. (Software included) These films & manual are a wonderful resource, but should not be used as a substitute for qualified flight instruction.

The Complete Guide to Flight Instruction
This book will take you on a tour of our entire flight training system, from beginner to burnout. You will take a journey, step by step, through each rating and be given the knowledge and tools to avoid all the pitfalls and hassles that every other student will make without this insight. It doesn’t matter where you are in your flying, there is something in here for every pilot. There are answers to questions most pilots will never think to ask. There are ideas and solutions to problems most pilots would never even consider.
The Complete Guide To Flight Instruction is not a rote, laundry list copy of the procedures listed in the FAA Flight Training Handbook that so many other aviation books have become. Procedures in this book are not the endpoint, they are merely the beginning. Every procedure must have a purpose. Every purpose must fit into the big picture. Every pilot must learn that judgment and decisions are what flying is all about. Here you will learn how to develop judgment and make good decisions. From there you can develop your flying instinct, the most important quality and resource for any pilot. This book is your treasure map through the process.
If you want a thorough analysis of everything that is wrong with our flight training system, and how to fix it, if you want a thought-provoking book that challenges everything you have come to believe is possible from your own flying, if you dare to reach beyond the very restrictive boundaries of current teachings, if you want to master flying and teach yourself how to fly the best that you can, then you must read The Complete Guide To Flight Instruction.

21st Century Flight Training: General Aviation Manual for Primary Flight Training in the New Millennium
The effect that recent technological advances in aviation-related software, hardware, and infrastructure have had on pilotsâ visual flying skills and their increased reliance on such devices during cloudless flights is examined in this authoritative reference. Integrated Sensory Flying (ISF), the revolutionary flight training program, is at the center of this discussion and answers a long-awaited call for a visual flight instruction program similar to that of Basic Attitude Instruments (BAI). Core 21st Century Flight Training concepts such as flight phases, task prioritization, and proficiency segments for performance maneuversâall of which lead to improved training efficiency and intelligent aeronautical decision makingâare discussed, as well as visual situational awareness. Every maneuver of every primary flight training rating from Private ASEL to MEI is taught from the perspective of an examiner with countless checkride insights. Additional information is also provided on integrating references, scenario-based training, and FAA special-emphasis programs including the TAA Safety Study and the Human Factors Design Standard.
