- Works with the FSX Bombardier CRJ 700 and others!
With the addition to FSFlyingSchool PRO 2014 of the Detail Pack for Bombardier CRJ 700, your instructors will be looking at your aircraft and your performance in your Bombardier CRJ 700 in a lot more detail.
In addition to FSFlyingSchool Pro 2014's detailed analysis of your flights, you'll hear extra advice
and warnings all specific to the Bombardier CRJ 700. Spoilers, fuel switches, flight control panel,
weight management, hydraulics, generators, passenger signs, speedbrake, thrust reversers, yaw damper, anti-ice,
flap speeds, before takeoff procedures, starting the engines, landing techniques and much more.
Includes a number of Bombardier CRJ 700 checklists you can request to be read by your instructor.
Here are just some of the different stages of flight in which events will cause your instructor to talk to you, with specific reference to the Bombardier CRJ 700 you are flying.
