Here are some real world aviation
reference files that are just as useful for FS users. |
|
A
Catalogue of UK Airfields |
The UK
Airfields Catalogue is a listing all known airfields that have been
built in the UK (England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Channel Isles and
Isle of Man). The list presently shows some 1400+ airfields with brief
details on each - together with current status if known. |
|
Catalogue
of ICAO Airfields |
A catalogue showing
the full listing of ICAO coded airports worldwide. Lat/Long, Altitude
and runway length are given where these are known. Warning: this listing
covers over 11000 airports and the data pages are quite large - they
will take some time to load. Read the intro page for further details. |

ICAO Aircraft Type Designators
- Zip File (204K) |
A complete list of ICAO Aircraft
Type Designators as used in real world flight plans - and in FS for the atc_model line in the aircraft.cfg file. FS does not recognise
anything other than these precompiled codes.
This file is now only available as a zipped Excel file owing to its size
- I am not longer able to provide it as a web page.

|
Instrument Procedures Manual
- PDF file (1mb) |
A comprehensive document giving
details of pilot training for the IMC Rating. Sections include flight
instruments, instrument flying techniques, radio navigation and
instrument approaches using NDB's, VOR's, ILS's and radar.
A very well
presented document provided for our use thanks to the kindness of Peter
Dodds. |
|
Crosswind
Components |
A small Excel file that
will give you Crosswind angle or component, heading and groundspeed
after inputting Track, TAS and W/V. An added extra is a second SS giving
bearing and distance between two given Lat/Long points. |
|
Aircraft
Checklists |
This is a small 55K zip
file which contains my real world pilot checklists for ten aircraft.
These are:
-
Grumman AA5
-
Cessna 172
-
Cessna 177RG
-
Cessna 182
-
DH85 Leopard Moth
-
PA24 Comanche
-
PA27 Aztec
-
PA28R Arrow 2
-
PA32 Cherokee Six 300
-
PA38 Tomahawk
The checklists will print out in a neat A5 format (A4 folded in
half) so they don't take up much room on your desktop (or aircraft!).
They are Word 97 files. |
