This means that in SATA Virtual you will use SATAvFDR to file your flight reports, and also used to help on the operation of the aircraft and flight briefing. At this time SATAvFDR works with, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Lockheed Martin Prepar3d v1.0+, Lockheed Martin Prepar3d v2.0+, X- PLANE 9 and X-PLANE 10. Please refer to 9.08.01 Type Rating for type rating configuration. SETUP After having downloaded and installed SATAvFDR software from the virtual airline site the software is almost ready to be used. Launch SATAvFDR from the Start Menu and the following screen should show up. Note: In order to use SATAvFDR, an unregistered copy of Pete Dowson FSUIPC is needed. Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 requires FSUIPC 3.99 or higher, Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D requires FSUIPC 4.98 or higher, X-PLANE requires a copy of XUIPC freeware (users of X-PLANE need to ask SATA Virtual Planning and Crew a modified copy of XUIPC setup files). SATA Virtual ALL June 2014 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 9.01.02 P 4 Flight Crew Operating Manual SETUP SEQ 001 REV 64 SATAvFDR needs virtual airline information and the pilot number for a certain virtual airline. Your virtual airline should have given the details in order to complete SATAvFDR setup. You should have got a URL from your virtual airline to complete the setup, fill it in on Home Page field and press Get VA Config button, the information needed by your virtual airline should be downloaded and shown on SATAvFDR, after you will need to fill in your pilot number for that virtual airline and press the update button. Every time a filed is changed, Update button should be pressed to save changed information. As it can be seen on the sample screen below, SATAvFDR allows setup for multiple virtual airlines. Pilots should not change any of the other fields, unless when instructed to by their virtual airline, because they are needed for the proper operation of SATAvFDR. SATA Virtual ALL June 2014 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 9.01.03 P 5 Flight Crew Operating Manual SETUP SEQ 001 REV 64 Buttons: Insert – if the virtual airline does not provide a download setup file, this will enable pilots to fill in all the information needed for the virtual airline and save that information as a new line on the top frame. Update – Save any changes made to the fields Clear – Clear the bottom form Delete – Delete a virtual airline from the list. Close – Close this form. SATA Virtual ALL June 2014 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 9.02.01 P 6 Flight Crew Operating Manual START SEQ 001 REV 64 START To use SATAvFDR to log flights pilot needs to book a flight on their virtual airline flight booking system. If you have any doubts around where the to book your flights, please contact your virtual airline. Flight booking systems are out of the scope of this document. After flight booking is fully performed under your virtual airline flight booking system, start SATAvFDR (the following screen should show up). The bottom line will show the Flight Simulator being used, connection status and the current flight phase. It also includes warnings for Wind shear, Turbulence and Ice, these messages will be shown in 3 colors, Green when a connection to flight simulator is not established, Cyan for light, Orange for moderate and Red for severe conditions. Note: Screen above is an example without a connection to a flight simulator. SATA Virtual ALL June 2014 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 9.02.02 P 7 Flight Crew Operating Manual START SEQ 001 REV 64 The next step is to click “Get FPL” button and the next booked flight for the Pilot will be downloaded from virtual airline site. Operational flight plan data is showed after a successful download from the virtual airline site. For departure and arrival airport, Charts links and NOTAMS will be shown if available via VATEUD API. If the tabs for Charts links and NOTAM do not show up is only because VATEUD API can’t access that data. SATA Virtual ALL June 2014 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 9.03.01 P 8 Flight Crew Operating Manual REFUEL SEQ 001 REV 64 REFUEL (OPTIONAL) SATAvFDR simulates a refuel panel. After a flight plan has been successfully downloaded and a connection to the flight simulator is established, Fuel On Board (FOB) from the last flight of the chosen aircraft is applied to the aircraft loaded in flight simulator. This behavior depends on the virtual airline configuration; if this functionality is not available from the virtual airline refuel panel will be inoperative. Note: Inoperative Refuel panel, either because a connection to the simulator is not established or the virtual airline doesn’t use this option. Pilots need to pay special attention to this feature because it will override any previously fuel loaded in the aircraft, by any other means, once communication with flight simulator is established. This panel uses a special digital font that can be optionally installed in Windows systems. If you are interested in installing the font please ask for a link sending an email to your virtual airline. SATA Virtual ALL June 2014 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 9.03.02 P 9 Flight Crew Operating Manual REFUEL SEQ 001 REV 64 The top frame in this screen has the fuel distribution weights that are loaded in flight simulator plane on both wings and central tanks. On the lower frame, from left to right: PRESELECTED – Estimated quantity of fuel for the current flight, pilots can adjust this value. REFUEL –Green means that a connection with flight simulator is available and running, it will be Red if a connection to flight simulator is not established. OFF/ON – Click on top of letters to toggle between OFF/ON. ACTUAL – Total weight of fuel loaded in all tanks. Note: At the time of release of SATAvFDR defuel is not possible SATA Virtual ALL June 2014 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 9.03.03 P 10 Flight Crew Operating Manual REFUEL SEQ 001 REV 64 Below an image of the refuel panel refueling an airplane in flight simulator. Refuel panel also tries to simulate the time that takes to refuel planes in real world. Pilots need to take this time factor into consideration when booking flights. The time it takes to refuel an aircraft from the fleet depends on the aircraft type. For instance, to fill an Airbus A320 from

    New M Announced by Microsoft at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2019 (E3 2019) is their new flight simulator package set for release in 2020 for both PC and Xbox. We weren't expecting this announcement - given the history of Microsoft's attempts to revise its historic Microsoft Flight Simulator package (aka Microsoft Flight). This is a developing story so be sure to bookmark this page - it will be updated regularly with more information as and when it becomes available. The announcement was made via a YouTube video previewing the new sim. At first, we thought it was a hoax (like our 2014 April fools joke) however the video was verified and had been released on Microsoft's official Xbox YouTube channel.

You only have to give credit back to Navigraph and keep the same license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 2 Preamble This is the annual flightsim community survey, a collaborative effort between partners – developers, companies and organizations in the flightsim domain – coordinated and compiled by Navigraph. This survey is freely distributed for the common good of the flightsim community to guide future projects and attract new pilots. This flightsim community survey is the largest and most comprehensive of its kind. This year 17,800 respondents participated in the survey. This is an 18.6% increase from last year when 15,000 participated. This year’s survey consisted of 93 questions, compared to last year’s 77 questions. However, this year many more of the questions were conditional, allowing us to add new sections and ask in-depth questions only to those respondents for whom it was relevant. New sections this year contained questions specifically aimed at pilots using flight simulator software on mobile devices and helicopter flight simulators. We also added questions on combat simulators, air traffic control and flight planning. Finally, because of the upcoming release of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, we added questions on this topic as well. Our main objective this year was to recruit more and diverse partners to broaden the reach of the survey to get an even more representative sample of the community.

  • Virtual Airline CEO Questionnaire
    Virtual Airline CEO Questionnaire Thank you for participating in our VA CEO interview for the Virtual Airline List. Depending on the editor this word document it will be published on the social network and our website: Please take your time answering the questions. Respectively 1. Can you tell us a bit about yourself? For example; how old you are, what your background with flying in general is and what brought you to creating your own Virtual Airline. Lynx Airways Worldwide is the second oldest virtual airline in the World. Geoff Bergey, founder and first CEO, opened the Lynx hangar doors on July 1, 1992 on AOL Message Boards. For myself I started flying with Lynx on February 19, 1998 when I stumbled upon them on the AOL message boards. My background in flying comes from my years in the Navy from 1973 through 1999. I was what was referred to as an In-Flight Tech onboard the Orion P-3 Sub-hunter aircraft. I would sit on the forward radar cabinet just behind the Pilot’s seat during many flights, especially on night flights, to watch the cockpit gauges, switches, and controls. My job, as an In-flight Tech (IFT) was to attempt to fix anything avionics that stops working while in flight. Sort of like the Mr. Spock of the time. So, I gained a fondness for aviation and understood the principles of flight well. When one day I went to my Warrants house, he showed me this new game called Microsoft Flight Simulator on his Commodore 64: the rest is history.

  • Chp5 the Faa Information Skyway
    Chapter 5 The FAA Information Skyway Thomas Coonan Galaxy Scientific Corporation 5.0 Introduction The Office of Aviation Medicine (AAM) Human Factors in Aviation Maintenance research team has been exploring alternative methods for disseminating the products from the research program. Examples include publication of project results on CD-ROM, the Human Factors Guide for Aviation Maintenance, and annual meetings and reports. The program has included efforts to involve the research and user communities in its decision-making processes. Another avenue for disseminating information is through an on-line electronic information source. This new distribution channel has been termed the FAA Information Skyway. Figure 5.1 AAM Use of the Internet (Adapted from Nejmeh, 1994) This report presents our vision of what the Skyway is, of our progress with our User Needs Survey, a survey of existing services, and a snapshot of the World-Wide Web (WWW)-based Skyway to date. As shown in Figure 5.1, the AAM will use the Information Skyway to: 1. Disseminate information from the Human Factors Research Program, Office of Aviation Medicine, and the FAA to all Internet users 2. Maintain and update official aviation-related documents and standards generated by the Office of Aviation Medicine for immediate world-wide use 3. Provide additional Maintenance Human Factors-oriented Internet services, such as notification bulletins, information archiving and retrieval, and conducting world-wide discussion groups. A substantial portion of the FAA Information Skyway will be based on the WWW, a Standard General Markup Language (SGML)-based hypermedia information layer available through the Internet. The WWW allows hypertext access across all WWW hosts and documentation.
