In Q&A format, this panel presentation provides a glimpse into the world of airline flight planning where we teach you how to "plan like the pros" and apply many of the same procedures to flight simulation. Topics discussed will include fuel and route planning, alternate airports, Extended Range Operations, MEL/CDL, as well as how operations centers manage various scenarios.
