      Well that is pretty comprehensive for sure. Glad to be on board, coffee on the stove & sandwiches on order. Chocks away!

        I’m really pumped! Should be cool to get to some advanced stuff.

    • Daniel Valido

      I’m really excited just by reading what you plan to do! Good job Chris! Can’t wait for tomorrow!

      Hi Chris,

      I’m on board too! I do really love your approach and I’m ready for the next challenge level. I’m very curious what you have planned for us. Count me in!

      Greetings from Germany.

        Thanks for joining, Christian!

    • Charles Earl

      Really going to enjoy this. Price is right too! Will there be PDF reference material on some of this for offline reading? Sometimes the battery is dead on the laptop. ;)

      Charles.

      • Christian Fuerst

        Charles,
        following the wiki links you have the opportunity to download those articles as a pdf file (somewhere at the left side of the frames) there. It’s very easy. Sure you lose the benefit of those animated schematics in the articles – but all the rest is there for pdf download.
        Cheers
        Christian

      Hey Chris,

      Great Stuff, I am looking forward to the next lesson, and I am learning heaps, and becoming a much better pilot, and have a much better understanding about insturments, and why and how they all come together, in a single flight. Keep up the great work Chris.

      Regards

      Sam

      Looks very promising!!
      By the way, why did you drop the NDB from the program? (approaches in the US are indeed being replaced with RNAV/GPS. But in Europe or other parts of the world you will still find quite many NDB approaches).
      It always was part of IFR training, wouldn’t it be a good idea at list to show the basics of NDB/ADF?
      How will we do the Classics like Insburk?
      Ooops, I just checked to see if anything updated :-) no more NDB approaches in Insburk, its RNAV now :-) :-)
      But, one NDB Epizode can’t hurt, I think…, you know, just to show how pre-histoey was look like… Just for the completeness of the syllabus

      • http://www.flyaoamedia.com/ Chris Palmer

        I just don’t think NDB stuff makes sense these days. It’a all getting phased out. I’ll venture to say that in the next 10 years we are going to see most VORs and ILS systems be phased out too, but as those are still used quite a bit, we’ll be teaching stuff about them.

        Plus… I don’t know much about NDBs. They are already so far out of the system that I haven’t ever done anything with them in my hundreds of hours as a pilot. Kinda crazy, but true.

    • Shmulik Ivanir

      You are right all the way(I’m convinced). What about Hold? (rare, but exists, in busy events in VATSIM you are more than likelly to be requested one or more)

      • http://www.flyaoamedia.com/ Chris Palmer

        Holds would be good to do as well.

    • hans van den wyngaert

      Hi everyone,

      Is there, by any chance, the possibility that we could learn to do a cross country flight with Chris Palmer (or colleague) as instructor -on PNW or elsewhere- online, with a number of “disciplined” trainees from aviator pro?
      That could be a lot of fun to fly on IVAO (or VATSIM).
      I realize though, the logistic problems as well, since I am from Belgium (Europe) and we will have the problem with the time zones.
      But say, a Saturday evening with us (UTC) could be a Saturday afternoon with our American friends.
      Just a thought.

      Keep up the great work with aviator pro!

      Greetings
      Hans

        Very interesting concept! I’ve thought of doing something like this, and I’m still sitting with it to see what and how it could be done.

    • harry gabriel

      after viewing aviator90 outstanding vidoes i am now looking forward to aviatorpro

      • http://www.flyaoamedia.com/ Chris Palmer

        Thanks for signing up, Harry.

    • Ole Andreasen

      I was shown this site just yesterday by a fellow sim pilot – Bruce. It looked so great that I signed up for AVpro at once. Now im just trying to grasp the whole concept to get myself started in the process of becoming a full blown hot shot pilot.

      Thanks Bruce – Thanks Chris, I think its going to be great!

      • http://www.flyaoamedia.com/ Chris Palmer

        Wow! That’s really impressive! Welcome aboard.

        If you haven’t gone through Aviator90 yet, I’d advise you go through that as well. You can do it while you’re learning the AviatorPro stuff, but without the basic set of ‘knowledge’ with Aviator90, you’ll be a bit behind.

        If you don’t know where that is, head over to http://www.flyaoamedia.com/aviator-90

        Throttle on!

    • Ole Andreasen

      I am studying the Av90 also…. I´ll call myself a pretty fair intermediate sim pilot, so I think Ill manage, but I expect to be a hundred times better from your course, so feel the pressure I have put on your shoulders… lol

      • http://www.flyaoamedia.com/ Chris Palmer

        Bring it on, man! ;)

    • Thomas Eklund

      The program seems awesome Chris, just a quick hello from LSGG ;)

        Hello! Throttle On!

    • Mohsin Zuberi

      Great Stuff, need to work hard to absorb all this.

      Good job Chris.

      • http://www.flyaoamedia.com/ Chris Palmer

        Good, I’m doing my job then ;)

    • Eric

      Wow.. I was impressed with the Aviator free stuff, but looking at whats in Aviator Pro, I fear I’m hooked! Looks like a lot of learning fun!
      Thanks Chris, for inventing this concept and actually making it happen.

        Ray,
        If you’re looking at the wall on the sidebar, just keep your cursor over it and you’ll see the full comment.

      How do we locate your tutorials? I am on the dashboard and see no heading of TUTORIALS. There has to be a simpler route to follow. Appreciate your reply.
