Commercial Pilot Certificate

In the real world, commercial training focuses on

advanced flight maneuvers. In Flight Simulator

2000, we’ll stray from the real-world curriculum so

that you can perfect the instrument flying skills

you already have. This time, you’ll be flying an

aircraft with retractable landing gear—the Cessna

182RG. The training will be similar to your

instrument training, except that all the tolerances

will be tighter and you’ll do all the flying in the

clouds (in what pilots call instrument meteorologi-

cal conditions, or IMC). After passing the Com-

mercial Pilot Checkride, you’ll be ready to try

flying more advanced aircraft. That journey begins

with these steps:

Now try flying some of the Advanced Adventures:

they’ll help you keep your new commercial-level

Flight Simulator 2000 flying skills sharp.
