Prerequisites

Like real-world jet flight, simulating jets is an advanced skill. Jet pilots know about basic flight, navigation, instrument flight rules, and electronic flight decks. You will benefit from skills explained in these books:

• Flight-Sim Maneuvers 21^st Century

• Flight-Sim Navigation

• Instrument Flying for Flight-Sim Pilots

• Glass Simming 2020

All four books are available from this quality flight-sim retailer.

Specifications:

• Common PDF format can be used by all home flight simmers.

• The book is 340 pages from cover to cover.

• The ZIP archive file is 6 megabytes.

Extra Goodies

A special Jet V-Speed card is included as a free bonus. Common V-Speeds used in jet flight are defined by speed on one side and alphabetically on the other.

Focus and Limits

Jet Simming 21st Century describes and explains the use of civilian jet aircraft represented in home flight-simulation programs. Microsoft Flight Simulator™ 2020 is used because it is popular. Aviation principles and methods can be applied to other aircraft in other simulators.

Aircraft specifications are provided as appropriate and applicable. Comprehensive and detailed specifications are outside the scope. Cross-country navigation and instrument flights are described in other manuals.

This manual is for home flight simulation only. It is based on real aviation principles 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 in this book is not exactly like real-world flight. Use for real-world aviation is not appropriate or authorized.

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.
