=======
This package contains some files that can be used with Miika Asunta's FS-ATC
version 2.0 program that adds an air traffic controller to Microsoft's Flight
Simulator 4.0
I wrote them to provide some interesting challenges for instrument flight on
Flight Sim. They are best run with the Lear 25G jet (the longer ones are a bit
boring with the Cessna).
Each folder contains:
1) A MS Flight Sim situation file.
2) A FS-ATC 2.0 controller file.
3) Other documentation (explanatory maps etc).
Once started and you must make an initial call by hitting Cmd-Shift-8. Once
airborne the files will automatically track you and issue instructions unless
the previous instruction is "report overhead..." or "contact..." In these cases
you have to hit Cmd-Shift-8 to make contact and get the next instructions.
DCA-DCA
=======
You start: Washington DCA runway 18
You finish: Washington DCA runway 18
Scenery file: SD-7 World Scenery
Other files: DCA IFR R18 Apprch (PICT): an approach plate for runway 18.
Object
------
Take off from DCA runway 18 and make a circuit of Washington to land back on
runway 18. You are under air traffic control at all times.
Description
-----------
This flight is based on an approach chart that I found on Compuserve. A direct
approach to this runway 18 would fly over the White House so to avoid harming
the delicate ears of the president an exciting curved approach has to be used.
Hints
-----
This is very tricky flight especially on instruments. To do the approach
properly you need to be alert and respond quickly and accuratly to the
controllers instructions.
CDG-LHR
=======
You start: Paris Charles de Gaulle
You finish: London Heathrow runway 10L
Scenery file: SD-EUROPE World Scenery
Object
------
Taxi straight ahead around the taxiway. You are to Take off from CDG runway 27
to fly to London heathrow.
Description
-----------
This flight reproduces a flight that is made dozens of times a day.
Hints
-----
Pay attention to the controllers instructions. Most of the time you are under
radar control but occasionally you have to report overhead a certain position to
recieve instructions.
OAKLAND CIRCUITS AND BUMPS
==========================
You start: Oakland 27L
You finish: Oakland 11
Scenery file: FS World Scenery
Object
------
This is a flight from one Oakland runway to another. The main point of this is
to practice an ILS approach. You can set the wind and weather to make it more of
a challenge.
Hints
-----
Straightforward in good weather.
MARTHA TO BLOCK NDB APPROACH
============================
You start: Marthas vineyard 01
You finish: Block island 28
Scenery file: FS World Scenery
Other files: NDB approach to Block Island
Object
------
Take off from Marthas vineyard runway 01 and fly to Block Island.
Description
-----------
This flight demonstrates the use of and NDB beacon which is more difficult to
use than a VOR beacon. In this case there is other traffic at Block Island and
you are forced to stack. See the MacPaint picture for the stacking circuit that
should be flown with careful attention to the OMI and stopwatch. In the Flight
Sim try cmd-Y to plot your orbiting to see how accurate you are.
Hints
-----
The NDB approach is more difficult and less precise than a VOR or ILS approach,
especially with a cross wind. This is why you have to break off earlier unless
the runway is in sight.

Paul
