A Guide to using PFE by Ray Lunning
(beta tester)
Introduction
PFE utilizes ProFlight2000 for use in FS2004 and FSX.
PF2000 is a Flight Planning and ATC program that simulates ATC com-
munications and navigation. It is an interactive program which allows
the Pilot to respond to ATC voice commands.
The Pilot
To use this program the Pilot should have some knowlege of naviga-
tion and IFR/VFR Flight procedures. A successful flight will depend on
the Pilots ability.
Flight Preparation
Prior to flight, the Pilot should have a printed ProFlight2000 Flight
Plan. It will also be useful to have a print of the Flight Plan‘s *.brf file
found in the PFE\ADV folder. These two items will provide you with
most of the runway information and enroute frequencies needed to
make the flight...
To do things by-the-book the pilot should ideally have a printed ILS
or VOR Approach procedure published for the destination airport,
although this is not absolutely necessary.
Approach Plates can be downloaded from several web sties such as:
