"Pursue the Dream" It's no secret that many users turn to Microsoft Flight Simulator because of their long held dream to learn to fly. These flyers are not quite ready to make the big leap into the left-hand seat at a flight school and so they rely on Flight Simulator as a substitute. This new add-on Private Pilot Training puts the word serious into flight training. This new add-on comes to you via the prestigious AeroClub de France (AeCF) and developer Ascendance. The AeCF is the foremost aviation organization in the world with well over 100,000 members. Headed by President Gerald Feldzer, who is also a senior Airbus 340 captain and instructor, the AeCF brings 102 years of flight training experience. Ascendance is a major French developer, whose CEO Franklin Devaux is also a major airline executive. These two have teamed up to bring authoritative, real-world aviation expertise to the world of flight simulation. Our new add-on Private Pilot Training proves that Microsoft Flight Simulator is indeed a serious way to learn to fly. If you have the persistance to complete the challenging lessons of Private Pilot Training, you'll earn an official virtual pilot's certificate authorized by the AeroClub de France.

Audible, Interactive Flight Instruction Together, the AeCF and Ascendance have developed Onlinepilot VFR which uses Microsoft's popular flight simulator platform for virtual flight training. Sit in front of your PC, start Onlinepilot VFR and you'll experience an interactive, voice-accompanied environment in which to practice basic and advanced flight procedures and maneuvers. In each lesson, Onlinepilot VFR grades your performance based on your ability to follow the instuctor's verbal commands. The instructor can sense your performance and he'll let you know if you fail to follow his directions. The lessons are rigorous and are intended to impart methodical and structured flight instuction. If you pass the challenging practical flight test, you'll be awarded a AeCF Virtual Pilot's Certificate.
