'''''Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer''''' is a 1988 flight simulator by [[Electronic Arts]] for the CPC. Aircrafts in the game include the Bell X-1, the SR-71 Blackbird, the P-51 Mustang, the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, the F-16, and the F/A-18.
The sim has a nasty [[Speedlock]] copy protection mechanism that fails with some emulators, so it might be necessary to use a modified version.
 
The graphics do not work that well on a green screen (e.g. the mountains tend to blend into the sky), so it is a good idea to play this flight sim in colour.

There are also several outside views of the plane and a flight recorder that can play back your flight later.
Keyboard commands for the Amstrad port are not included in the manual but the quick reference sheet. It also lists some features in the 128 kB KB version that do not work with the 64 kB KB version:

==Video==
 
Not a particularly great video because he never actually gets off the ground, but at least it shows some of the different camera angles available.
