FSFlyingSchool 2018 comes with a huge set of additional new features...

Autopilot Tutor Included

- Interactive Autopilot advice is optional 
If you want to hear it, turn on the 'Monitor Autopilot' option at the Pilots Screen of FSFlyingSchool. You'll hear your instructor describing the autopilot and giving instruction and advice on it, including: 
--- Autothrottle 
--- Speed hold 
--- Speed Selection 
--- Heading Hold 
--- Heading Selection 
--- Altitude Hold 
--- Altitude Selection 
--- Vertical Speed Selection 
--- Autopilot Master 
--- NAV Hold

- Autopilot areas where Mr Smith will help 
--- Autopilot speed selected too high - above vNE (never exceed speed) for aircraft 
--- Advice on having descended to within 1,000 feet of target altitude 
--- When autothrottle is on - you can now set a speed to hold 
--- Approach hold can only hold approach if speed is appropriate 
--- Autopilot speed selected is below landing configuration stall speed - you need to increase it 
--- Altitude selected is under 500 feet above destination runway - caution 
--- Advice on having climbed within 1,000 feet of target altitude 
--- Be sure autopilot altitude value is at or below service ceiling 
--- If vertical speed selected is rapid descent - it can be uncomfortable and lead to flying too fast 
--- Altitude selected is under 500 feet above surface currently beneath aircraft - caution 
--- Autopilot speed selected too high - must be below 250 KIAS below 10,000 feet MSL 
--- Autopilot is on so it will control the aircraft - you need to monitor and control the autopilot 
--- Altitude selected is very near the elevation of destination runway - caution 
--- If vertical speed selected is rapid climb - it can lead to a stall - watch airspeed 
--- Autopilot speed selected is below stall speed - caution 
--- If vertical speed is very low it can waste fuel and may conflict with ATC requirements 
--- Autopilot disengaged - you control the aircraft 
--- Descent to altitude selected would make contact with surface currently beneath aircraft - caution 
--- Autopilot speed selected is below flaps up stall speed - you will need flaps 
--- Advice on having reached target altitude 
---...and so much more! 

- Autopilot tutorial advice is optional 
If you want to hear this general advice, turn on the 'Autopilot Tips' option at the Settings Screen of FSFlyingSchool.

In order to avoid these tips sounding repetitive, they are chosen randomly so you won't keep hearing the same advice each flight.

--- Intersecting the ILS glideslope from below 
--- How to slow down to a target speed 
--- Disengaging autopilot (or not) before landing 
--- Speed management required to keep on glideslope 
--- Importance of correcting drifting heading indicator 
--- Wasted turns through poor use of heading bug 
--- Immediate firm control of aircraft after autopilot is disengaged

Get help navigating waypoints in a flight plan by having your chief instructor Mr Smith announce them before you reach them. He'll tell you what they are and advise you on the turn you'll need to make when you get there. You'll become an expert in flying flight plans correctly by having chief instructor Mr Smith advise you along each leg of the plan with information updated in real time as you fly your flight plan. 

- Mr Smith is ready with Taxiway Tips 

As your chief instructor, he's the one who explains signs, markings, lights and more! 

- Taxiway and runway tutorial advice is optional 

If you want to hear this advice, turn on the 'Taxiway Tips' option at the Settings Screen of FSFlyingSchool. 

- Get ready to learn - here are some of the taxiway and runway subjects

You'll get tutorial advice on taxiways, runways, markings, lights and more when you are at an airport with modern taxiways. Our pilots explained to us that they don't want to get this advice when they are bush flying or at a tiny grass strip airport! Furthermore, Mr Smith knows pilots want advice on taxiing when they are taxiing, so you will get this when your flight mode is 'taxiing' and not in any other flight mode. In order to avoid these tips sounding repetitive, they are chosen randomly so you won't keep hearing the same advice as you start each flight.
