SUMMARY

This article describes how to find detailed preflight briefing information in the Flight Simulator online Help file.

Some lessons and adventures in Flight Simulator 98/2000 refer you to the "Preflight Briefings" topic in the online Help file, or they refer you to the preflight briefing information for a particular lesson.

As an example, the description for the Introductory Flight of the 737-400 installed by Flight Shop Converter 98 refers you to the "Preflight Briefing: Introductory Flight--Boeing 737-400" topic in the online Help file.

The information available in the "Preflight Briefings" topic in the online Help file is not dynamically linked to the active lesson or adventure. The "Preflight Briefings" topic contains general information about preflight briefings and keyboard commands. More specific preflight briefing information may be available in the Help topics for specific lessons and adventures.
