Flight Simulators

Microsoft Flight Simulator X includes many features and capabilities that make it an ideal complement to formal flight training and real-world flying. With Flight Simulator, you can fly to almost any airport in the world using navaids and airways or GPS, fly precision and non-precision approaches, communicate with ATC, deal with real-world weather from takeoff to touchdown, and review your performance with flight analysis. The wide variety of aircraft in Flight Simulator—from single-engine personal machines to jet transports—provides a range of experiences and challenges and gives you the opportunity to learn about and practice using many types of avionics and instrument displays. Savvy pilots have long appreciated the benefits of using Flight Simulator to keep their skills sharp, and aviation professionals are seeing the benefits too. Flight Simulator is an integral part of training programs conducted by the US Navy, FlightSafety International, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
