Because it gives you the best possible head start and enables you to learn at your convenience. Flight Simulator provides scenario-based training that lets you practice handling almost any situation. It offers advantages you don't even get in a real plane--the option to set up any kind of weather or equipment failures, stop midway and redo a procedure, or get the view from outside the airplane. FSX isn't a game. It's a training mission for virtual and real aviators alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstall Flight Simulator and set up a training program from Student Pilot through Airline Transport Pilot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse the custom flight lessons on the companion Web site to prepare for actual flight training\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePractice the fundamentals of flight--starting the engine, taking off and landing, and performing pre-flight checks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn to handle different types of aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExperience the effects of wind and weather\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrepare for emergency situations and learn to navigate by both old-fashioned and modern methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCommunicate with air traffic control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuild practice time that can help you prepare for license exams\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeff Van West\u003c\/b\u003e is a certified flight instructor in both single and multi- engine aircraft and editor of the professional pilot magazine \u003ci\u003eIFR\u003c\/i\u003e.
