The pilot's choice among flight planning software now comes in a VFR version. FliteStar VFR v9.0 is no bare-bones flight planner. This basic version of FliteStar gives you comfort and flexibility in flight planning with unparalleled precision and speed. Customize charts by selecting which items you want displayed, choose to show single or multiple charts, toolbars, information bars and more. Optional charts on CD-ROM can also be purchased to show additional VFR chart detail.
FliteStar gives you two ways to plan your flight:
1. Chart View: if you can play "connect the dots," you can use FliteStar. Just zoom in or zoom out on the chart--all around the globe--and build your route by clicking on airports, navaids and other waypoints. Once connected, waypoints can be added or deleted by simply tugging the rubber band-like course and moving it with your mouse. FliteStar then instantly recalculates your flight plan. Want to detour around a tall mountain? Grab the route and bend it...FliteStar does the rest. VectorPlus Mapping allows you to select from map "themes," including replicas of Jeppesen low-altitude or high-altitude enroute charts or even VFR planning charts that show terrain.
2.Need Some Guidance? The new Route Wizard guides you step-by-step through each phase of the flight planning process.
The powerful search function lets you search for airports and navaids by city name if you don't know the airport or navaid identifier. Choose the route option that best meets your needs: high/low-altitude airway (IFR version only), VOR-to-VOR, direct, or great circle. FliteStar lets you pre-select your preferred "leg lengths". New routing algorithms make FliteStar's routing faster and more accurate, and FliteStar will now route you around (or over or under) 15 different types of "restricted" airspace, as well as FIRs/UIRs. Competing products either don't offer airspace routing at all, or don't take into account the effective altitudes of the airspace. After using the Wizard to build your route, you can now add or remove landing points.

The private pilot invariably operates as the pilot in command of a single-pilot aircraft. So, in actual fact, he is not only a pilot but a navigator, too. It is essential, therefore, especially during cross-country flights, that the pilot should be able to apply all the correct practices to his navigational task, in a timely manner, without being distracted from flying accurate headings, airspeeds and altitudes. Developing this skill is the very essence of single pilot navigation. The foundation on which this skill resides is meticulous flight planning.
It is the aim of this interactive, multimedia computer-based training (CBT) course to teach you every element of the theory underlying flight planning and the art of single-pilot navigation (and to prepare you for the PPL ground examinations) more quickly, effectively and enjoyably than ever before.
In order specifically to meet the JAR-FCL PPL theoretical knowledge requirements, this CBT also includes basic theory instruction in Radio-Navigation Aids.
Oxford CBT Disk 5 - Aircraft General & Principles of Flight
Aircraft (General)teaches you all you need to know about the systems of a modern light aircraft, so that you can fly your aircraft efficiently and safely, while exercising proper care of the aeroplane itself. Systems covered include the electric, electronic, mechanical and hydraulic systems, its engine and its instruments.
For those who fly, a thorough knowledge of the Principles of Flight is also essential if they are to fully appreciate the flight characteristics of their aircraft and become safe and proficient pilots. This interactive, graphically-rich computer-based training (CBT) course provides pilots, whether student or qualified, with an effective and enjoyable method of studying, and testing themselves in, the scientific principles upon which flight depends.
The course is a deep and comprehensive study of the science and mechanics of flight. It is aimed specifically at meeting the needs of the light aircraft pilot. The course content and self-assessment tests satify the demands of the JAA PPL (A) theoretical knowledge syllabus.
As a pilot, you must have a clear perspective on your aircraft's capabilities. It is essential for you to know, for instance, how well, or how badly, your aircraft performs in the various phases of flight. How much runway will you use for take-off and landing, how well will the aircraft climb, how far it can fly, how long can it remain airborne? These are questions you need to know the answer to for every aircraft you fly. You will find the answers to these questions through your study of the theoretical knowledge subject 'Aircraft Performance'. Fully appreciating your aircraft's performance and what controls that performance is vital for safe and efficient flying operations.
A companion subject to 'Aircraft Performance' is 'Mass & Balance'. Whatever the phase of flight, it is vitally important that the location of the aircraft's centre of gravity always remains within the limits specified by the design of the aircraft. If the centre of gravity falls outside these limits, the aircraft's flying characteristics will be adversely affected and the aircraft may ultimately become uncontrollable. Pilots need to understand thoroughly the role played by the position of the centre of gravity. The 'Mass & Balance' section of this CD-ROM covers all the necessary knowledge and principles to enable you, the pilot, and the aircraft captain, to check that your aircraft is correctly loaded and balanced for safe and efficient operations.
As a pilot, you must at all times be aware of what forces are acting on your aircraft, both on the ground and in the air. These forces are generated by a combination of the static loads carried by your aircraft and the dynamic loads generated when your aircraft is accelerating, whether in a straight line, in turning flight or when recovering from a dive or aerobatic manoeuvre.
This IFR RT tutor is designed to follow on from the international VFR RT tutor. It covers the IFR elements of the JAR Communications syllabus and contains many examples of RT which might be used when flying IFR in both uncontrolled and controlled airspace. The tutor is intended for the pilot who has completed the VFR tutor and now wishes to expand his/her knowledge and skills to IFR situations. A thorough knowledge of VFR RT procedures is therefore essential before starting the lessons on this CD.
This ICAO based ATPL Air Law course is a self-teach, interactive, multimedia, computer-based training (CBT) course for pilots of all levels, up to ATPL, whether student or qualified. The CBT has been jointly developed by aviation specialists, instructors and multimedia designers from Oxford Aviation Academy, one of the world’s leading professional flying training schools.
The main aim of this CBT is to enable aviation personnel and student professional pilots to learn about Air Law more effectively, more enjoyably and more rapidly than ever before. A further major objective of this CBT is to prepare student pilots for success in the JAA/EASA ATPL theoretical knowledge examination in Air Law.
The CD-Rom contains over 500 ATPL-style test questions and answers to enable you to benefit from Oxford Aviation Academy’s unequalled experience in preparing thousands of students for the JAA/EASA ATPL examinations.

The classic dead-reckoning navigation computer has been used by pilots world-wide, since before the Second World War, to solve navigational and flight planning calculations quickly and easily.
By mastering the classic navigation computer, pilots discover how to solve navigational problems from first principles, and learn how to visualise the fundamentals which underpin the whole art of navigation.
For the student working towards a Private Pilot's Licence, three important test hurdles have to be cleared. They are the two flying skills tests- General Handling and Navigation - and the theoretical knowledge examinations, often referred to as the "ground exams."
Passing the ground examinations requires two types of preparation. You must, of course, learn thoroughly all the subject matter in the different theoretical knowledge disciplines, but then, before you sit the actual examinations, you must also familiarise yourself with the level of difficulty and style of the PPL examination questions themselves. This PPL Examination Preparation CD-ROM from Oxford Aviation Training - one of the world's leading pilot training schools - enables you to do just that.
In addition to all the questions from the complete set of the renowned OAT/Transair PPL Ground Training CD-ROMs, over 540 new questions have been added to this Exam Preparation CD-ROM, making over 1550 questions in all. Using the CD-ROM, you can test yourself on individual examination subjects, or attempt a complete PPL-style examination paper. The CD-ROM will mark your work, give you your result and indicate the questions that you have answered wrongly, inviting you to select the correct answer
