This fantastic book is real world training for serious pilots, not a game. Strap in and ride along as certified flight instructors Kevin Lane-Cummings and Jeff Van West raise the landing gear on this guide to using Microsoft Flight Simulator X. This book takes you through the pilot ratings as it is done in the real world: You start with Sport Pilot training, then Private Pilot, followed by the Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, and Air Transport Pilot.
Aspiring pilots will learn the skills of flight, how to master Flight Simulator, and how to utilize the software as a learning tool towards their pilot's licenses. Those who already have their real-world wings will benefit from guidance on how Flight Simulator X can be used as a continuing learning tool, how to simulate real-world emergencies, and how to use it for training towards advanced certifications.
And those who favor simulation to real-world flying will find tips for making their sim experience as real as possible. Go to www.wiley.com/go/flightsim to find sample flights for each lesson in the book, demonstrations of flight maneuvers, and two bonus chapters.

Microsoft Flight Simulation for Pilots
Sure, Microsoft Flight Simulator is a great program that lets you fly a Boeing 747 or (insert your fantasy airplane here), but how much utility does it offer for your real flying? Jeff Van West and Kevin Lane-Cummings answer that question in their new book, Microsoft Flight Simulator X for Pilots: Real World Training. The book's 750 pages take the reader through the sport pilot and private pilot certificates, followed by instrument rating, commercial pilot certificate, and air transport pilot certificate. For aspiring pilots, the book teaches the skills of flight, how to master the program, and how to utilize the software as a learning tool. Those who are already pilots will get guidance on how Flight Simulator X can be used as a continuing learning tool, how to simulate emergencies, and how to train for advanced certificates.
