AvTutorials - Getting Around On The Ground 3.0 With Airport Sim | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - Aviation Tutorials

Getting Around On The Ground™ is the most thorough multimedia guide to safe airport ground operations!

Why you need Getting Around

Don't become a victim or a cause of runway incursions!

Are you familiar with the problem of "runway incursions?" Have you ever had a runway incursion? A runway incursion is "Any occurrence at an airport involving an aircraft, vehicle, person, or object on the ground that creates a collision hazard or results in a loss of separation with an aircraft taking off, intending to takeoff, landing, or intending to land."

All pilots can agree on one fact:

It’s easy to become disoriented, overloaded, or misunderstand communications when operating on the ground. Yet ground operations are one of the most critical phases of any flight. The fact is, runway and airport safety is getting worse. As of December 1, 2011, the number of runway incursions and other ground incidents is rising.

What can you do to help ensure that you won't cause a runway incursion in the future? What can you do to help prevent being a victim of a runway incursion?

Getting Around On The Ground™ 3.0 With Airport Simulator™ is the only interactive, multimedia tool available that teaches the types of airport markings, signage, and lighting. It also goes beyond simple technical knowledge by outlining hazards, safety tips, and procedures that will help keep you aware, knowledgeable, and safe on the ground.

Now with Airport Simulator™

Now with Airport Simulator™

Learning the theory is one thing. Practicing it is another. That's where Airport Simulator comes in. Airport Simulator is a real-time, 3-D, virtual airport taxi simulator. Get the ATIS, exchange communications with Air Traffic Control, and follow taxi instructions including hold short and runway crossing tasks. The goal is to practice taxiing so as to NOT cause a runway incursion. Two airports and forty challenging taxi scenarios are included. And, there's no need for special hardware such as rudder pedals, because you control your aircraft with just a few keys on your keyboard. It's easy!

FAA WINGS credit

Qualify for FAA WINGS credit!

By completing all the content and taking the Final Exam, you can qualify to obtain credit for the FAA WINGS program. The WINGS program is a continuing education program for pilots, sponsored by the FAA. You'll not only learn to be a safer pilot on the airport surface—you'll also be able to prove your commitment to flight safety with your WINGS account. (Aviation Tutorials is a WINGS Training Provider.)

Program Specifications

As an overview, Getting Around On The Ground™ 3.0 With Airport Simulator™ provides:
  • Full sound narration to make learning easy
  • 3D graphics that show the airport environment from ground view
  • Skills for preventing runway incursions
  • Complete descriptions and visuals of airport markings, signs, and lighting
  • Methods of incorporating knowledge of markings, signs, and lighting in your flight operations
  • Ground procedures
  • Safety "Quick Tips" that you can use immediately
  • Case Studies of real-world runway incursion incidents and accidents
  • A final exam
  • Airport Simulator, to practice real-time taxiing according to Air Traffic Control instructions
Getting Around On The Ground™ 3.0 With Airport Simulator™ also contains:
  • 3 hours of narrated instruction
  • 16 instructional sections
  • 125 original 3D graphics and animations
  • 60 quiz questions
  • 17 "Quick Tips"
  • A 50-question final exam
  • Two airports in Airport Simulator and 40 taxi scenarios
Main Menu

The Main Menu is used to access each of the instructional sections and Airport Simulator. The sections included are:
  • Introduction
  • Runway Markings
  • Taxiway Markings
  • Other Pavement Markings
  • Holding Position Markings
  • Mandatory Instruction Signs
  • Location Signs
  • Direction Signs
  • Destination Signs
  • Other Signs
  • Airport Lighting
  • Runway Status Light System
  • Taxi Diagrams And Hotspots
  • Ground Procedures
  • Quick Tips
  • Case Study
  • Airport Simulator, with instructions and two airports
  • Final Exam
Case Studies and Statistics

A primary feature of Getting Around On The Ground™ is it's emphasis on case studies and statistics. In other words, you'll find out how close your own experiences could be to actual accidents and close-calls. You won't just learn the technical aspects of airport operations, but you'll also learn about specific real-life runway incursion hazards.

3D "Ground-view" Graphics

It's no wonder airports are confusing when taxiing on the ground. Since most aircraft sit low to the ground, it's difficult to visualize one's position. That's why we created 3D graphics that represent how things really look—low to the ground. All graphics feature accurate representations of signs, colors, and markings.

Quizzes

You'll have the chance to test your knowledge after each section. Simple quiz questions are provided in a variety of formats, accompanied by 3D graphics to illustrate the question at hand.

Markings, Signs, and Lighting

You'll learn how to interpret the colors, symbols, and placement of markings, signs, and lighting. Since many airport layouts are rather confusing, such scenarios are illustrated to describe how such markings, signs, and lights are used.

Procedures

Although not a tutorial on communications, Getting Around On The Ground™ does emphasize the importance of proper communication and taxiing technique. The section on Procedures provides an overview of proper ground operations.

Quick Tips

While factual knowledge is a good thing, pilots need real tips and techniques that can help prevent runway incursions. Seventeen Quick Tips are provided, with clear graphics, that you can start using right away.

Orbx - FTX: NA Blue Southern Alaska | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - Prepar3D Add-Ons - Scenery - North America

Glacier Bay and then some!

FTX Southern Alaska (SAK) offers much more than "just" the famous cruise ship destinations of coastal Alaska. It covers a whopping 200,000 square miles from Anchorage to Watson Lake (Yukon Territory), and Kenai to Juneau, with Valdez, Skagway, and Whitehorse as other major hubs. A wide variety of landscapes -- coastal fjords, braided rivers, spectacular glaciers, alpine tundra, lake-dotted muskegs, vast forests, and a few urban centers -- all have been recreated in great detail and accuracy. A dozen key landmark areas are featured with seasonal photoreal coverage and custom models, and hundreds of glaciers also use photoreal textures. Just like with our other region titles we've given every single one of the ~270 airports, airstrips, and seaplane bases in the region an upgrade, with more accurate placements of runways and taxiways as well as buildings, hangars, moving people (and creatures), and lots of "clutter". Every single square mile of land class is hand placed and all major roads, rivers, lakes, powerlines, and vertical obstructions are included for accurate VFR flying. Last but not least all ground textures are hand-annotated with our custom autogen objects.
  • Continues coverage north from Orbx PFJ
  • Fully compatible with Tongass Fjords X
  • Hand-placed landclass covers every sq mile
  • Accurate roads, rivers, lakes, powerlines
  • Over 270 airports have been upgraded
  • Custom Skagway airport/harbor by Jon Patch
  • Selected photoreal landmark/urban areas
  • Hundreds of photoreal glaciers
  • Custom autogen textures and objects
  • Superb ground textures by Matt Tomkins
  • 20m Holgermesh for high terrain detail

TSS - MD-11 PW4460 HD Sound Pack for FSX | The FlightSim Store: Download Software - FSX Add-Ons - Sound Sets

Turbine Sound Studios proudly presents the HD version of the MD-11 PW4460 sound pack for FSX recorded in HD High definition.

This sound package includes the following:
  • External engine sounds
  • Internal engine sounds
  • Gear sounds
  • Wind sounds
  • Cockpit environment sound
  • Rolling and rumble cabin sound
These sounds where recorded from China Cargo and Martinair cargo MD-11's

The Pratt & Whitney PW4000 is a family of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines with certified thrust ranging from 52,000 to 99,040 lbf (230 to 441 kN). Built as the successor to the JT9D series engines, it has found much wider application than its predecessor.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 is a three-engine medium- to long-range widebody jet airliner, manufactured by McDonnell Douglas and, later, by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Based on the DC-10, it features a stretched fuselage, increased wingspan with winglets, refined airfoils on the wing and smaller tailplane, new engines and increased use of composite materials. Two of its engines are mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer. It also features an all-digital glass cockpit that decreases the flight deck crew from the three required on the DC-10 to two by eliminating the necessity for a flight engineer.

...and so many standard FSFlyingSchool features!
  • Works with both FS2004 and FSX
  • Team of 4 talking Flight Instructors
  • Scoring system rates all phases of flight: taxi, take off, cruise, approach, landing & more
  • Fly anywhere in the world with an instructor
  • It's never been easier to use! You can now land anywhere you like and your instructors will know which runway you have chosen. You do not need to file a flight plan and you do not need to create the runway files that FSFlyingSchool used previously. Just get lined up with a runway ahead of you when you descend in landing mode. The instructor will look ahead, figure which runway you are heading for and announce where you are going to land. Easy!
  • No need to file a flight plan! Fly any route you wish with full evaluation of your performance.
  • Instructor knows which runway you are landing at. Even without a flight plan or ILS, and will give advice on how to land.
  • Instructor knows which runway you are taking off from. Instructor will comment and give advice on the runway you have selected.
  • No need to land on a fixed point on the runway. Any reasonable landing on a runway will get a reasonable score.
  • Auto-read FSX's current flight plan. Option so that FlyingSchool will always read FSX's current flight plan when you press the connect button in FSFlyingSchool. This is a great time saver!
  • Spoken Teaching Tips. Option so that FSFlyingSchool will speak a series of helpful tips when you fly with FSFlyingSchool. Tips are always in the same voice and are clearly different from a normal 'instructor' voice. These tips are like training wheels on a bicycle and are telling you how to use FSFlyingSchool and Flight Simulator itself. Once you have got the basics of these operations down, you may wish to turn these basic tips off.
  • Friendlier scoring system. Rewards all flights which were basically safe - higher scores require plenty of skill. If you can walk away from your landing - you will get a score. If you crash - you will not!
  • Numerical data added to log book. Shows details of flight performance, such as landing speed, distance from threshold, approach accuracy and more.
  • Runway length and threshold part of landing evaluation. Landings have never been easier - just land beyond the threshold (even when displaced), on the runway, and not too long, and you'll be looking at great scores.

Orbx Releases FTX: EU Wales

Includes BONUS EGFF Cardiff International Airport! The next in Orbx's expansion into the UK and Europe. Wales is a country that is part of the United Kingdom and the island of Great Britain. Bordered by England to the east and the Irish Sea to the west, much of Wales' diverse landscape is mountainous. The Capital of Wales is a de facto designation usually applied to Cardiff since 1955. Although it shares a close political and social history with the rest of Great Britain, the country has retained a distinct cultural identity and is officially bilingual. Over 580,000 Welsh language speakers live in Wales, where it is spoken by a majority of the population in the north and west. FTX EU WLS includes a range of custom-built landscapes including farmland, plains and highland to recreate the luscious valleys that Wales is renowned for. When flying down low and slow, you’ll see a world full of Welsh buildings and trees. Taking the lead again in pushing the boundaries of what FSX can offer, we’ve developed new technology making custom autogen tree models and textures. It keeps getting better. Wales for ever.
