| This is a series of documents on the theory and practice of flying, based on real world flight training manuals. Its target audience is those pilots who want to fly to a high standard and to understand the basic underlying principles of flight. It is essential reading for members wishing to undertake ab initio flying training, forming the "Ground School" theory lessons every pilot needs.. Each separate section covers a particular topic.

| Exercise 30 |
Flight Simulator Instructor Mode (FS2004 only). This allows one to one flight training, but the "Instructor" has only a map view and digital flight data. He cannot fly the aircraft. This has largely been superceded now by FSNet for FS2004. FSX has an excellent built in dual pilot operation capability. |

| Radiotelephony Manual for use on VATSIM |
The use of voice communications adds a great deal of realism to the Flightsim world. Pilots feel the same pressure to perfiorm properly as do real world pilots To help members, we have produced a tutorial, based on real world practice, but adapted for use on VATSIM. |

This is the mnemonic for the Airborne Flight Plan, the most used and yet most abused of all the standard radio calls. Learn it well for you will need to say it often, but don't "rattle it off", that's unprofessional. You need to be clearly undertood, first time. THAT is being professional. |
