This tutorial is required reading for anyone with no real world aircrew experience who wants to fly propliners realistically during flight simulation. Most flight sim users have only a vague concept of how aircraft are flown, and why. Often that concept is wrong, based on terrestial vehicles. Last updated on 4/11/08.

It includes the following sections:

Part 1 - Flight Simulation Basics
Part 2A - En Route Phase (simulating historic infrastructure constraints)
Part 2B – En Route Phase (Radio Ranges – navigation gauge development)
Part 2C - En Route Phase (Procedures, Mach, ETA v ATA, Winds, 4D navigation)
Part 3 - Arrival Phase (including holding procedures)
Part 4 - Approach Phase
Part 5 - Departure Phase
Part 6 - Flight Planning in detail
Part 7 - Near runway operations
Part 8 - Managing thrust in propliners
