$1.00
Climb and descent management is where sim pilots most often diverge from real-world airline technique. This guide by Captain Mike Ray covers the art and science of airline-style altitude management — from top-of-climb to top-of-descent planning, energy management, and the techniques real crews use to arrive at the right altitude at the right time.
What's Inside
- Airline climb profiles and altitude management techniques
- Top-of-descent planning and calculation
- Energy management during descent and approach
- Common sim pilot mistakes in climb and descent
Who Is This For?
- Flight sim pilots flying airliners in X-Plane or Microsoft Flight Simulator
- Student pilots building instrument and IFR altitude management skills
- Sim pilots wanting to fly realistic airline-style vertical profiles
