Release Notes:

Ask a professional airline pilot and he'll probably tell you that he
doesn't do much "hand flying" these days. Why not? Well, most airliners
have banks of high tech instrumentation that takes most of the flying out
of piloting.

For more "challenging flying" you'll have to move away from the airliners
and get into left-hand seat of a light plane.

Private Pilot lets you fly the best of the light aircraft. You'll recognize
most of the aircraft here since they're among the world's most popular
models. And a few of these are planes that many aviators dream about flying.

Noted designer Terry Hill has been creating flight sim aircraft for many
years. Finally he has the opportunity to complete something that he's wanted
to do for some time now - put together a collection of his favorite planes.

Terry's attention to detail ensures that these singles and twins look like
the real thing. Terry Hill and Jim Rhoads and several other experienced
pilots are putting just as much effort into making sure they fly like the
real thing.

Instrument Panels

We Haven't Forgotten The Inside

Attention to detail doesn't stop on the outside. Panel designer Chris
Arrington and Scott Nix have created customized cockpits for each plane. Tim
Dickens and Chuck Dome created custom instrument gauges.

Hone Your Flying Skills

When you step into a new plane, you should practice a few hours to become
acquainted with its flying characteristics. We'll take you to the Island
Airpark created by Jim Rhoads and is located right in the middle of Lake
Michigan - not too far from Meigs Field.

At Island Airpark, you'll be able to practice and gain proficiency whether
it's a short field takeoff over 50" foot obstacles or a soft field
landings, shooting the ILS in bad weather or holding over the NDB and
challenging maneuvers and approaches.

This release REQUIRES MS Flight Simulator 2000. If you don't have FS2K,
