Practice VOR and NDB navigation in a comfortable, easy-to-use environment!

Practicing navigation is simple and effortless! While The Navigation CD-ROM™ teaches the theory behind navigation, VOR/NDB Simulator™ enables you to practice real-time VOR and NDB navigation on your computer! You don't have to worry about altitude control, radio communications, airspace, traffic, or other major tasks, as you would in real flight. Aircraft are expensive to operate, and they make poor classrooms. With VOR/NDB Simulator, you're able to learn navigation techniques on your computer, in an inexpensive and non-distracting environment.

It's got everything you need to visualize navigation! The screen consists of several components: 1) an airplane flying across the screen, 2) VOR's and NDB's, 3) navigation and flight instruments, and 4) controls that enable you to specify aircraft direction, airspeed, wind component, and other options.

Develop the skills you need at your own pace! Your objective is to set the navigation instruments accordingly, and then turn the aircraft as needed to intercept and track VOR radials and NDB bearings. You can practice position-finding, interception, and tracking skills. Instrument pilots can also practice advanced skills such as DME arcs and holding. Best of all, you can create custom navigation scenarios by dragging the VOR's, NDB's, and airplane around the screen wherever you wish. It's all point-and-click!

VOR/NDB Simulator™ contains the following modules:

• Main Menu
• Simulator Module with Instrument Manager
• On-Screen Voice-Narrated Instructions

Crisp, clear graphics

On-screen, fully-voice-narrated instructions show you how to use the simulator, allowing you to "test drive" all features on-screen

Choose the instruments you wish to use in the Instrument Manager

Simultaneously view the map area and navigation instruments

The simulator displays in full-screen mode to allow maximum viewing area, regardless of your video resolution settings

Use either your mouse or keystrokes to control the simulator

Simple point-and-click controls ensure that 100% of your time is spent practicing navigation

Custom navigation scenarios can be set by simply dragging instruments, VOR's, NDB's, and the airplane around the screen

Wind effects simulate real-world navigation challenges

Radial and bearing courses are displayed in the map area to let you compare the airplane's path to the desired course

Perfect for practicing everything from basic position-finding, tracking, and intercepting to advanced skills such as DME arcs and holds

Saves you money by letting you develop navigation and visualization skills on your computer, instead of practicing in the aircraft at costly rates
