| 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! -
On-screen instructions are fully-voice-narrated -
There's only one Simulator Module-you can choose any array of instruments to
use, from the Instrument Manager -
The Instrument Manager lets you select flight and nav instruments in an
array of combinations (including Directional Gyro, Course Deviation
Indicators, Automatic Direction Finder, Horizontal Situation Indicator, and
Radio Magnetic Indicator) -
Instruments are draggable, allowing you to arrange them as they exist on
your aircraft’s instrument panel -
VOR and NDB navigation can be performed simultaneously on the same screen
-
"Random" buttons generate random aircraft heading, navaid positions,
aircraft position, and wind speed and direction -
Aircraft can be turned continuously at standard rate (3° per second) and
slower with either the keyboard or mouse -
ADF interference causes the ADF or RMI needle to vary its indications,
making navigation more difficult -
"Show/Hide" buttons allow you to hide and show the aircraft, course lines,
path flown, and heading vectors -
The instruments and map area can be printed by the default printer
configured on your computer -
Grid lines on the map area represent square miles -
ADF instrument allows fixed-card and rotatable-card methods of use -
Precision movement of the course needle on the Course Deviation Indicators
and Horizontal Situation Indicator allows greater navigation accuracy -
Compass rose symbol on VOR navaids now remains stationary when the course is
changed |
