Weather, high altitude, narrow approaches and hidden runways all add to the challenge. And designers Jim Rhoads and Tim Dickens are carefully detailing each airport to bring you an authentic flight experience."

Comments - The staff at BBC radio Lincolnshire are thanked in the manual - so presumably it was a BBC trained announcer who provided the voice of your co-pilot, and if so he sounds like an amiable bloke with that reassuring lack-of-fluster you look for in a flight instructor! The first flight I took was the scenic flight over the Lakes District. This is a pleasant flight with the instructor pilot chatting amiably away in the manner of a tour guide, pointing out local points of interest... "Yeats wrote a poem over there...", "... another famous person wrote a book over that way..." and so forth.
