Flight Planning and
Navigation
Flight Simulator 2000 starts with your Cessna
182S on the ground at the end of runway 36 at
Merrill C. Meigs Field in Chicago. After you get to
know your way around the city, you’ll probably
want to try flying somewhere else. You can
instantly reposition your aircraft to a new location
on the ground or in the air, or plan an entire flight.
Flight Simulator 2000 has many new features that
simplify flight planning and navigation.

Description
Position your aircraft on a specific runway at any of
more than 20,000 airports. If you don’t know an
airport’s name or alphanumeric identifier, you can
search for it by geographical area.
Look at airports, navigational aids, airways, airspace,
general geographical information, and the course
you’ve been flying. You can enter your desired
latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, and airspeed, or
drag the aircraft symbol across the map to reposition
it. Clicking on airports and navigational aids displays
information about them.
Navigate the modern way, directly from waypoint (a
point of reference along your route) to waypoint,
using a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver
displayed in its own window.
Create or load a VFR or IFR flight plan. Define your
own route or select auto-routing via:
· direct GPS
· low altitude airways
· high altitude airways
· VOR to VOR
View the details of your flight plan. Information
provided for each leg includes:
· altitude
· true airspeed
· magnetic heading
· estimated groundspeed
· fuel consumption
· time en route
Rapidly change your aircraft’s attitude, location, or
altitude without actually flying in real time. A great
way to check out the scenery.
