WELCOME AVIATION ADDICTS OF ALL KINDS:
PROFESSIONAL AIRLINE PILOTS and PC SIMMERS are
equally welcome on this site. There is something for both...and
indeed the materials on this site are intended to represent the
"cross-over" between the real and the virtual in aviation today.
isitors to this website are
interested in one thing...
airplanes. Oh yeah, in a
broader sense, they are fascinated with aviation and things aeronautical...but the true love of pilots and simmers (even wanna-be pilots) is airplanes. Captain Mike Ray is no exception. Many of you, from the time you were a kid (and many of you are still kids no matter what your age), you wanted to fly airplanes...and be a pilot. Simming has allowed us all, young and old, to share in the experience of flying...and make no mistake, just because it is operated using a keyboard and a monitor, flight simming is NOT A GAME.

For the true aviation specialists that drop by this site, the "real" airline pilots out there "flying the line," just because the material is interesting top PC simmers don't detract from the usefulness of Captain Mike's material in preparing for your check-ride and transition training. As a matter of fact, I believe that there is a middle ground.
With the advent of MSFS and MSFX (Microsoft Flight Simulator Programs) and the availability of third party add-on programs that replicate the operation of real airplanes with a high degree of accuracy, it is my opinion that there is usefulness in using these programs to facilitate and supplement actual flight training in real airplanes.
