Approach plates for the Instrument Approach Scenarios can
be accessed by clicking on the appropriate approach plate
icon on your desktop. The plates are in Adobe Acrobat
®
format (.pdf) and can be printed for more convenient use.
Whenever the program requires your attention
you will hear a series of alert tones. When these
tones are heard, direct your attention to the
information display area along the top of the screen for more
information.
CTRL-R
Press CTRL-R to repeat the last ATC transmission directed
at your aircraft. Your aircraft identifi cation throughout the
scenarios will always be N054EG. Listen carefully for this
call sign and follow ATC’s instructions to properly execute
the approach.
CTRL-K
Press CTRL-K to acknowledge and/or answer a request
from the program. One example of this might be if a
controller asks you to “report fi eld in sight.” Since there
is no way to actually converse with the virtual controllers,
CTRL-K is used by the program as a communication
trigger. This is similar to a quick double-click of a
push-to-talk switch in a real aircraft (sometimes requested
by ATC to verify communication).
CTRL-S
Press CTRL-S to disable the automatic setting of radios
by the virtual instructor (see next section).
Instructor Help:
At the beginning of the each scenario the program will
ask if you would like to have the help of an instructor. By
answering “yes” to this option you will be inviting a virtual
instructor into the cockpit. The virtual instructor will act more
like the copilot or PNF (pilot not fl ying) in these scenarios,
