Flight Operations

Flight operations connects weather, communication, and online networks into a complete flight workflow. The weather section explains X-Plane's weather simulation and the tools for METAR, TAF, and flight planning. The ATC chapters walk step by step through radio communication of an IFR flight — from clearance to landing. Via VATSIM, the learned procedures can be applied with real controllers in the online network.
