About "Long Hot Summer"
Scenario Type: VFR
It’s another hot August day and you’re planning a cross country to Smith Island on the North Carolina coast for some beach time. The weather is technically VFR but there are scattered thunderstorms reported in the area that you’ll need to look out for. Fortunately your airplane has on-board weather so you will be able to see any convective activity on your Nexrad capable G1000. The terrain is flat along your route so if you need to dip down below the scud you should be alright. Just watch out for the billboards along NC 53.
What to Expect
This VFR mission scenario was professionally developed and designed for optimum performance on a Redbird ATD. Special coding and data enhancements provide a realistic and rewarding training experience.
What You'll Learn
While mission exercises are for skill building scenarios require a pilot in training to use their expertise in a real world situation. Then add decision making to the mix. Scenarios rely on judgement calls from a true pilot in command.
