ATP and Airline Simulator page

ATP is an older simulator but it's still going strong.

LAGO Airline Simulator is a really nice simulator. It has only one airplane. It's a Boeing 747-400 with a glass-cockpit and a very good functioning Flight Managment Computer System. The scenery is Europe and the Northatlantic with JFK , BOSTON, TORONTO and GANDER as Northamerican airports, and 29 major european airports as primary airports. 192 career assignments. Navigation is very easy with all the navaids provided and a very good autopilot.

Set DEP = EKCH and DST= ESSA

Set WAY = TRS - NAK - TEB - ESA

Set NAV1 = ESA 110.7

Set NAV2 = TEB 117.1

Set ADF= NAK, when NAK is passed set ADF = EA

Start descending to FL100 when TRS is passed set verticalspeed bug to -15. Set altimeter after listening on ATIS. When FL100 is reached, reduce speed to 250 knots and start descend to FL80, adjust verticalspeed bug to a proper setting. Pass NAK on 8000 feet. Start decsend to 3000 feet and check for glidslope deviation index, reduce speed to 220 knots, pass TEB on 3000 feet, adjust verticalspeed bug to a proper setting.
