Weather plays a key part in aviation and a thorough knowledge of weather and its effects is an essential part of every pilot's studies. Now your chief instructor Mr Smith can help in FSX, FSXSE, FS2004 and P3Dv3.

Mr Smith is the man for Weather Tutor

As your chief instructor, he's the one who explains temperature, elevation, dew point, precipitation, crosswind techniques and more!

Interactive weather advice is optional

If you want to hear it, turn on the 'Monitor Weather' option at the Pilots Screen of FSFlyingSchool PRO 2017. You'll hear your instructor describing the current weather and giving instruction and advice on it.

Interactive crosswind advice is optional

If you want to hear it, turn on the 'Monitor Crosswinds' option at the Pilots Screen of FSFlyingSchool PRO 2017. You'll hear crosswind take off and landing instruction right when you need it!

Weather and crosswind tutorial advice is optional

If you want to hear this advice, turn on the 'Weather Tips' option at the Settings Screen of FSFlyingSchool. Chief instructor Mr Smith will give you general instruction on weather and more when you are flying during quieter periods. In order to avoid these tips sounding repetitive, they are chosen randomly so you won't keep hearing the same advice each flight.

Get ready to learn - here are some of the areas Mr Smith will explain to you:
