Hey Dark......

Very broad question....

The basics; definitions, and how they relate to FS2002 are all available within FS2002 Learning/Help.

After that I'm sure more specific question can be answered here.

Cheers,
Dave

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Yeah thanks Dark night,

It would take all day to explain the your question,

I hope this helps to breifly explain until some one has more time up there sleeve/s.

IFR - Instrument Flight Rules
This allows a certified pilot to camand an aircraft under intruments only if he was forced into a situation where the weather is that bad he can ot see out the windows.

VFR - Visual Flight Rules
This allows a pilot to command an aircraft during daylight hours and only if the weather is clear / or visability is greater than what is set out by air services.

NVFR - Night Visual Flight Rules
Same as VFR except you can fly at night.

VOR - Very High Frequency Omni Directional Range
A navagation instrument that it used for tracking etc.
A VOR can be tracked via an instrument in the aircraft that will guide the aircraft to it and track it out bound using a radio frequency.

DIRECT-GPS - A function used with the GPS
Click on the Direct-GPS and it give you options as to where you would like to go ( within a certain distance)
One entered, the GPS will guide the aircraft to the airport/Nav fix and will circle until given further instructions.

LOW ALTITUDE AIRWAYS
This is a "Highway in the Sky" for Commercial Airlines, Low is for lower altitude routes.

HIGH ALTITUDE AIRWAYS
Same as above but for Higher Altittudes

Hope this helps

Shorter brief:

High altitude airways are used mostly for jet traffic, and airlines use them. Most business jets use direct, but sometimes high-altitude airways. Low altitude airways would be used for turboprops, or for personal airplanes which doesn't contain a GPS system and navigates by using NAV radios. Vor-to-Vor just provides the most direct (sometimes) route using only VOR stations, good for beginners just learning to use the NAV radios. ;)
