Navigation trainer

Train the descent, not the scenery.

Zflite is a 737 procedure trainer. Each level is a descent: a STAR, a runway, a cruise altitude, and a fuel load. You set the FMC, fly the vertical path, and see where the airplane actually was.

  1. 01

    Set the FMC

    Destination, STAR, transition, runway, cruise altitude, and the descent speeds. The page already knows the plan. The box has to match it.

  2. 02

    Fly the path

    Hold altitude and speed through the descent while the clearance changes. Gear, flaps, and speedbrake are part of the grade, not decoration.

  3. 03

    Read the debrief

    Your numbers sit next to the average and the best on that level. Altitude, configuration, and the fuel you still have.

After the level

Five rows, three columns. These figures are a sample of the layout, not a saved flight.
