Sportys VOR Simulator


Our VOR*SIM™ makes mastering VOR navigation simple and inexpensive. Our software is an interactive, graphical VOR simulator that allows the user to drag the aircraft anywhere, rotate the OBS knob and locate aircraft positions exactly as it would be done in the aircraft. The software also allows the user to switch between traditional or original versions of the OBS instrument. Other features include an OBS demonstration, DME tool, VOR transmitter demonstration and explanation, and a complete VOR history and explanation assistant. There is also a "Find Aircraft" feature, which randomly positions the aircraft, then hides it from view so that the user can locate its position. This software was developed by a veteran FAA Certified Ground Instructor and is in use in FAA Part 141 Ground School courses. (PC only).

TCAS II / ACAS II Collision Avoidance System User’s Manual


This manual applies to systems which are compliant to RTCA DO185A MOPS Change 7.0 and RTCA “DO-185” MOPS Change 6.04a. These systems are referred to as TCAS II (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System) in the United States and ACAS II (Airborne Collision Avoidance System) internationally. The terminology is used interchangeably and, for the purpose of discussion, TCAS II will be the terminology used in this manual.

A320 PIC Operating Manual


This tutorial will not cover the various recommended settings within Flight Simulator since that info already exists in the documents provided with PICA320. Obviously every airline has its own SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) but the following checklists should work generally. This tutorial will describe a sample flight where we hopefully will go through most of the functionality of the A320PIC. I will not go into any abnormal checklists. As usual nowadays you will find a lot of strange abbreviations. The Airbusdriver web-site mentioned below has an acronym list that should help. Feel free to edit this tutorial into shorter, easier to read lists once you are comfortable with the ins and outs of how the A320 works.

737 Authorware CBT


This Pilot Guide is designed to acquaint you with the Flight Dynamics Head-Up Guidance System (HGSâ) installed on Boeing 737-NG (PFD/ND) aircraft. It provides a description of the HGS, the modes of operation and HGS symbology. It also discusses HGS flight operational procedures and how to operate the HGS system through a typical flight profile.

The HGS is an electronic and optical system with unique features for displaying information in the pilot's forward field of view. The display is focused at optical infinity with flight and navigational data displayed to overlay the outside world in an accurate one-for-one relationship. The system is FAA certified for all phases of flight and has met the requirements for Low Visibility Takeoffs and manual Category I, II and IIIa approach and landings.

Advanced Avionics Handbook


This handbook is designed as a technical reference for pilots who operate aircraft with advanced avionics systems. Whether flying a conventional aircraft that features a global positioning system (GPS) navigation receiver or a new  aircraft with the latest integrated “glass cockpit” advanced avionics system, you should find this handbook helpful in getting started. The arrival of new technology to general aviation aircraft has generated noticeable changes in three areas: information, automation, and options.

Pilots now have an unprecedented amount of information available at their fingertips. Electronic flight instruments use innovative techniques to determine aircraft attitude, speed, and altitude, presenting a wealth of information in one or more integrated presentations. A suite of cockpit information systems provides pilots with data about aircraft position, planned route, engine health and performance, as well as surrounding weather, traffic, and terrain.
