In addition to FSFlyingSchool Pro 2014's detailed analysis of your flights, you'll hear extra advice and warnings all specific to the Boeing 757. Spoilers, autobrake, fuel switches, mode control panel, weight management, autothrottle, speedbrake, thrust reversers, yaw damper, anti-ice, flap speeds, before takeoff procedures, starting the engines, landing techniques and much more.

Includes a number of Boeing 757 checklists you can request to be read by your instructor.

Here are just some of the different stages of flight in which events will cause your instructor to talk to you, with specific reference to the Boeing 757 you are flying.
