VFR Flight Plan
For VFR flights it is best to avoid Airway routes. PFE may determine
that you are „off“ the airway.
A VFR flight plan is most often a straight line between airports. VOR
navigation can be helpful. PFE does provide flight following and the
Pilot can also request vectors using the # 7 key.
You will need to select VFR when creating the flight plan.
VFR altitides use the east / west rule similar to IFR except thet it is
+500 ft. (6500).
PFE and WIND
During a flight PFE will determine the runway to use at your desti-
nation. It does this by first checking to see which runway is currently
being used by AI traffic. If there are no AI traffic currently taking off,
landing or on route to your destination airport PFE will assign a run-
way determined by wind direction. The Pilot can help predetermine his
intended runway by selecting the wind direction in the Weather menu
prior to starting PFE. For those using „real Weather“ or some other
weather generating program, they will be subject to the „actual“ wind
direction.
