Practice Navigating and Talking to ATC on Your PC
Talking as we do to a lot of inactive pilots, we
find there are two things that most-intimidate them, about getting
back into the cockpit: one is the fear of the medical exam; the
other - and this cuts across all age groups - is the fear of the
radio work on the check ride. It's one thing to "practice," sitting
at the airport, tuned into the tower or ground frequency;
it's something else again, to actually be expected to do the
talking.
Some pre-flying practice would calm those jitters a lot (but the
tower and ground control aren't usually willing to oblige, unless
you're already in an airplane).
New! Navigation Done Right:
In the same vein, ANN Sponsor Comm1™ wants to take the
unfamiliarity out of navigation, for students, retreads, or those
who are upgrading their navigation skills beyond, "turn north at
the barn - you can't miss it."
Comm1™ is pleased to announce the addition of interactive
multimedia navigation training CD-ROMs to their line of
high-quality aviation educational products. Now you can have
effective and engaging training tools for both navigation and radio
communications - arguably the two toughest skills for most pilots
to learn.
Three Products Cover All The Bases
The Navigation CD-ROM™ will help you learn how to navigate
with VOR Navigation, NDB Navigation, GPS Navigation, HSI & RMI
Use, and Airspace. It's the handiest product in the market,
captivating enough that you lose that "sitting in front of the
computer" feeling, and get your brain into "real flying" mode.
The VOR/NDB Simulator™ gives you practice in
navigation, using four simulators: VOR Navigation, HSI Navigation,
NDB (ADF) Navigation, and RMI Navigation. If you've been flying the
"latest and greatest," and you need to rent, or need to buff up
those skills for a BFR -- or if you're just starting, this is
really useful.
One of the favorites around here, especially when we're flying
into unfamiliar (big) airports, is the Getting Around On The
Ground™ CD-ROM. It's a great refresher, and we figure it
would be good, too, as a primary-learning tool, for
learning methods of preventing runway incursions, as well as
understanding technical aspects such as markings, lighting,
procedures, and more.
