Focus and Limits

Instrument Flying for Flight-Sim Pilots describes and explains fundamental aviation knowledge that simulation pilots need for true realism. It applies to all aircraft, airports, airspaces, and simulators. It does not describe any particular airport, aircraft, airspace, or simulator.  

This manual is for home flight-simulation computer games. It is based on real aviation laws, regulations, and procedures so home flight-simulation enthusiasts can maximize their enjoyment. Because some aspects of home flight-simulation games are not exactly like real-world aviation, some information this book is not exactly like real flight. That is why Instrument Flying for Flight-Sim Pilots is not intended for and should not be used for real-world flight or lessons. TopSkills and I accept no liability for any misuse of this manual. – Bill Stack, author

Use Your Time Productively

Don’t lose valuable flight-simming opportunities searching the internet for flimsy freebies. Most are worth their cost. Ftldave says it best: 

“YouTube is hit or miss. Sometimes there's great, informative content, other times the videos are useless and unintelligible. How much time do you want to spend searching for the former, how much time to waste with the latter? As is often said about open software, the same is true for this: It's free if your time has no value to you.” 

Flight simmers have trusted, benefitted, and enjoyed my instructional books since 1997.
