<name>Setting the Altimeter</name>
<description>
The Altimeter on an aircraft works using air pressure. This varies due to weather conditions, so the altimeter must be set regularly to a known value.
Having the correct altimeter setting is important. As well as helping pilots to avoid any high terrain, it means that aircraft can be separated by altitude and not hit each other. This is particular important in busy airspace.
The source of this altimeter setting varies. At high altitudes, a standard pressure is used. At lower levels, and area setting is used, and around airports, the current airport setting is used.
This tutorial will teach you how to set the altimeter based on the ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) for Livermore Municipal airport.

<name>Straight-in Landing</name>
<description>Landings are not optional...
Land the aircraft from an altitude of 1000ft on runway 30 at KHAF on a calm morning.
Unlike normal flight, when landing you use power alone to control descent rate. The runway should stay in the same position throughout the descent - about a third of the distance above the glare-shield.
KHAF has a VASI to the left of runway 30, a series of lights designed to help you judge your approach. Simply put, the VASI will display red lights if you are descending too fast (indicating that you need to increase power), and white lights if you are too high (indicating that you need to decrease power). If you are descending at the right angle, you will see 3 red lights and 3 white.
You start the tutorial cruising at around 1000ft and 90kts. To begin your descent, you will need to reduce power and drop one notch flaps. You are aiming to approach at 80kts and 300fpm. As you get closer, you will need to reduce power further and drop more flaps, aiming to touch down "on the numbers" at 65kts.
