Featuring VFR as well as IFR regulations and procedures, this edition includes the most current information needed to become proficient in the area of radio communications.
From the Back Cover
An up-to-the-minute revision of the VFR pilots' sourcebook, this handbook adds important depth to the most thorough treatment of how to communicate confidently from the cockpit. In addition to updates of preceding editions, there are two brand-new chapters: one covers NTSB-provided examples of incidents caused primarily by human errors in communications; the other gives guidelines designed specifically to help pilots become more skilled communicators in an era of ever-busier airspaces and airports. VFR communications skills are surprisingly underaddressed in modern pilot training. This essential reference fills the gap with detailed coverage encompassing all the fundamentalsÑincluding radio facilities and communication responsibilities. With specific examples of how to conduct dialogue, and how dangerous assumption-making can be in the course of communicating, the book offers thorough grounding in: competence in cockpit communications;
how to avoid communication failures; airspace classifications summaryÑcontrolled and uncontrolled airspaces defined; Multicom airport radio communications (including a simulated landing and takeoff using Multicom);
Unicom airport radio communications (including a simulated landing and takeoff using Unicom); Flight Service Stations and radio communications; Automatic Terminal Information Service; Ground Control; transponders; Approach/Departure Control; working with Air Route Traffic Control Centers on VFR flights; what to do if you have radio failure ;
cross-country flight. This is the only place that gives pilots everything they need to be excellent VFR communicators.
The A320 is Europe’s answer to the American-built 737 and has been highly successful on short- to medium-length routes, with over 4,500 in worldwide service or on order since the aircraft first entered service in 1988.
Designed and built exclusively for Flight Simulator X the A320 Jetliner is part of the much acclaimed and user-friendly Just Flight F-Lite series.
Developed in-house by Just Flight’s expert designers, A320 Jetliner features accurate and detailed exterior and virtual cockpit modelling, a custom-programmed MCDU (Multifunction Control Display Unit), CFM56 and IAE V2500 engine models with high quality sound sets for both engine types, and 20 international airline liveries.
Just Flight's F-Lite range of aircraft is designed to provide top quality aircraft that are extremely high in detail but less demanding to fly than today's most complex procedural simulators. These aircraft are a significant step up from the default Flight Simulator aircraft in terms of modelling and cockpit systems, but won't require weeks of study before you can get airborne

Flight Plan pages - load and activate pre-made FSX flight plans without having to leave the cockpit, track the route, get an overview of distances and arrival times to the next waypoint en route and your destination
Modify your route and save it
Cockpit Navigator pages - easily switch panels (open/hide) via the MCDU
Checklist pages - access the A320 checklists and work from them with MCDU help, showing you matches/mismatches between required checklist items and current aircraft settings. Only when all aircraft settings match the checklist requirements will the checklist will be completed and closed.
Aircraft/ flight status page, showing date/time, coordinates and some general aircraft information at a glance (flaps status, gear status, fuel status, lights etc.)
The MCDU can hold two flight plans - an active flight plan and a standby flight plan. You can load a flight plan direct as the active flight plan (for immediate use) or you can load it as a standby flight plan and set it as active later. You can have an active and a standby flight plan loaded at the same time, so you have an alternate route in case you need to change plans. With both flight plans you can add and remove waypoints.
