Get ready to take flight as two certified flight instructors guide you through the pilot ratings as it is done in the real world, starting with Sport Pilot training, then Private Pilot, followed by the Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, and Air Transport Pilot. They cover the skills of flight, how to master Flight Simulator, and how to use the software as a learning tool towards your pilot’s license. More advanced topics demonstrate how Flight Simulator X can be used as a continuing learning tool and how to simulate real-world emergencies.

A poetic and nuanced exploration of the human experience of flight that reminds us of the full imaginative weight of our most ordinary journeys—and reawakens our capacity to be amazed. The twenty-first century has relegated airplane flight—a once remarkable feat of human ingenuity—to the realm of the mundane. Mark Vanhoenacker, a 747 pilot who left academia and a career in the business world to pursue his childhood dream of flight, asks us to reimagine what we—both as pilots and as passengers—are actually doing when we enter the world between departure and discovery. In a seamless fusion of history, politics, geography, meteorology, ecology, family, and physics, Vanhoenacker vaults across geographical and cultural boundaries; above mountains, oceans, and deserts; through snow, wind, and rain, renewing a simultaneously humbling and almost superhuman activity that affords us unparalleled perspectives on the planet we inhabit and the communities we form.

Advances in computer, visual display, motion and force cueing and other technologies in the past two decades have had a dramatic effect on the design and use of simulation technology in aviation and other fields. The effective use of technology in training, safety investigation, engineering and scientific research requires an understanding of its capabilities and limitations. As the technology has as its primary goal the creation of virtual environments for human users, knowledge of human sensory, perceptual, and cognitive functioning is also needed. This book provides a review and analysis of the relevant engineering and science supporting the design and use of advanced flight simulation technologies. It includes chapters reviewing key simulation areas such as visual scene, motion, and sound simulation and a chapter analyzing the role of recreating the pilot's task environment in the overall effectiveness of simulators. The design and use of flight simulation are addressed in chapters on the effectiveness of flight simulators in training and on the role of physical and psychological fidelity in simulator design. The problems inherent in the ground-based simulation of flight are also reviewed as are promising developments in flight simulation technology and the important role flight simulators play in advanced aviation research. The readership includes: flight simulation engineers and designers, human factors researchers and practitioners, aviation safety investigators, flight training management and instructors, training and instructional technologists, virtual environment design community, and regulatory authorities.

Writer Rinker Buck looks back more than 30 years to a summer when he and his brother, at ages 15 and 17 respectively, became the youngest duo to fly across America, from New Jersey to California. Having grown up in an aviation family, the two boys bought an old Piper Cub, restored it themselves, and set out on the grand journey. Buck is a great storyteller, and once you get airborne with the boys you find yourself absorbed in a story of adventure and family drama. And Flight of Passage is also an affecting look back to the summer of 1966, when the times seemed much less cynical and adventures much more enjoyable.

737NG Training Syllabus is a highly detailed, full color book virtually crammed with original graphics and thousands of words of descriptive text that will provide a complete training syllabus for persons wishing to learn to operate the 737NG jet airliner. While intended specifically for the Flight Simulation market, even professional airline pilots will find the information useful and informative. This is a guide intended to teach "simmers" how to fly the jet the way "the Pros do". Learning to fly the 737NG like a real pilot is a challenging and exciting adventure awaiting computer-pilots. However, as the increasing complexity of the ADD-ON airplane models blurs the boundary between Professional flight training and flight simulation "games", the task seems very difficult .. or even impossible. Captain Mike Ray's "737NG Training Syllabus" IS the document that will make this transition not only possible, but entertaining and ... well, a whole lot more simple. Written for the beginner as well as the veteran simmer, the profusely illustrated material is crammed with details, diagrams, explanations and useful information. The material starts slowly but builds to a crescendo. It includes a section for the "knows nothing" Ab-initio wannabe pilot and builds to provide information and operational procedures that will provide interesting and useful insight to even the professional airline pilot community.This beautiful and unique document provides the access toolset to the knowledge base that will allow the ordinary garden variety flight sim addict to cross the bridge between operating the current state of the art home based PC flight simulation programs and the real airline style simulator. This book is a MUST HAVE item for the 737NG computer pilot who wants to fly the incredibly accurate add-on airplanes as if they were real pilots.This paperback Black and White version of Captain Mike Ray's book on training to fly the 737NG is a great bargain. You get all the same information that is in the pricier (but more beautiful) color version ... and the same graphic and text that makes the volume such a popular item for both professional airline pilots as well as Flight Simmers. So get a copy ... and learn to fly the 737NG like the pros do.
