PlaneEnglish has added a new capability to its ARSim Aviation Radio Simulator: Multimedia access to documents, videos, and audio content from the FAA.
The first batch of content now available from the FAA is the agency’s “From the Flight Deck” video series, which provides pilots with actual runway approach and airport taxiway footage captured with aircraft-mounted cameras, combined with diagrams and visual graphics to identify hot spots and other safety-sensitive items, according to PlaneEnglish officials.
In addition, ARSim provides access to the FAA’s “Pilot Handbook” content, including details such as airport-specific cautions, information local controllers want pilots to know, airport communications, airspace details, more general best practices, lost communications tips, and other preflight planning resources.
“It’s a detailed and in-depth resource created with local controllers’ help and input, making it relevant, timely, and invaluable to pilots,” company offiials said.
This supplemental content is available for 40 airports across the National Airspace System, with more content in development.
The content is free within the ARSim simulator.
PlaneEnglish officials said they will continue updating and expanding the content library as new resources become available from the FAA and other contributing partners.
ARSim by PlaneEnglish is an aviation radio simulator designed to enhance communication skills for pilots, student pilots, and aviation enthusiasts. ARSim is available for iOS and Android on the AppStore and Google Play Store, and on the web. Several different purchase options are available.
