Book Reviews of Microsoft Flight Simulator X For Pilots Real World Training
Book Review: "Fly Like an Eagle"
Summary: 4 Stars
Years ago I took my first orientation flight in a Cessna 140 tail dragger and my instructor wanted to know if I wanted to do some simulated crop dusting - I said yes - and from then on I have been "hooked" on flying. I then enrolled in ground school and private pilot instruction and flights. I wish I would of had the additional information and exercises and computer and MS Flight Sim X available today to better prepare me for my actual training flights. If you are an aspiring pilot or want to take Flight Sim X beyond just a game - this will be a good book for you. The more knowledge of what is expected of you during your flight instruction will result in a more enjoyable and productive experience when training with your flight instructor - and will give you more confidence when you get out on your solo flights.
Pros. Instruction by real Flight Instructors. Systematic approach to learning aircraft maneuvers, flying techniques, avionics, etc. There is a real world approach taken by the authors that I like - and their tips are great!
Cons. The publisher opted to print the book in black and white, but allow you to download large files that have the colorized version of photos and charts that are in the book. I don't have the fastest internet so it was very tedious. A tip - download the lesson files and then the first couple of chapters to get you started. Then you can download the remaining 20 or so chapters at your leisure.
Wishing you an exciting and safe flying adventure!
