New in FSFlying School 2010

TRAFFIC! TRAFFIC!

Instructor optionally comments on the position, type and activity of both air and ground traffic and issues warnings if aircraft are getting too close. Things can get hectic at busy airports so your instructor will help keep you out of trouble.

Waypoint Advice

Instructor optionally advises when the next waypoint in a flight plan is approaching and reports its ID and type and advises the turn which must be made when it is reached. This gives you a hand setting up for that next important stage of the flight plan.

Navigation Aid Advice

Instructor optionally advises which radio to tune for the next NAVAID (Navigation Aid) in the flight plan (VOR or NDB) and reports the ID and type of the NAVAID, how to use its signal, and the course which can be tracked with it. It all helps the pilot stay on track and is a gentle way of introducing the pilot to the basics of VOR and NDB navigation.

Instant Customization of FSFlyingSchool Runway Data

Powerful new feature means that with a single key-press the pilot can optionally indicate what exact touchdown point on any runway in the world the pilot wants a landing to be evaluated on. You can aim for any point on the runway you like with this handy new tool.

Automatic Setting of OBS

Instructor will automatically set NAV1OBS to the runway heading during landing. One less thing for the pilot to worry about during a very busy time.

Runway Details

Instructor reports runway length, altitude and surface type when on approach. It all helps in planning that perfect landing.

ILS Advice

Instructor advises frequency of ILS (Instrument Landing System) at destination airport. If you want to do an ILS approach and need that frequency, your instructor has it for you.

ATIS Advice

Instructor advises frequency of ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) at destination airport. Use this to tune a radio and get vital information on the current conditions at the airport.

Automatic ILS Tuning

Instructor optionally tunes NAV1 (Navigation Radio One) to ILS (Instrument Landing System) at destination airport. Things can get busy so you can have your instructor take care of this for you if you wish.

Automatic ATIS Tuning

Instructor optionally tunes COM2 (Communications Radio Two) to ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) at destination airport. Handy to save time and COM2 will not interfere with ATC communications.

DME Reporting

Instructor reports distance from DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) navigation aid.

Handy Hints

Even more helpful cues and suggestions from your instructors.

Announces Selected Runway

Instructor reminds pilot which runway has been chosen for landing at destination airport. Helps keep the pilot on the right track and off the wrong runway.

Announces Flight Plan Length

Instructor reports total distance of flight plan. Make sure you can get there safely and with plenty of fuel to spare.

Tips

The in-program text tips have been expanded to help pilots get the most from all of FSFlyingSchool2010's features.
