LOADING A PROGRAM
The procedure for loading a program is described in

socket on your cassette recorder.
2. Position the tape before the beginning of the program
that you wish to load.
3. Turn the volume control to 3/4 of maximum or to a
level which you have found to be reliable on your
recorder.
4. Set the tone control for maximum treble and
minimum bass.
5. Type LOAD "PROGRAM NAME" but do not press
NEWLINE yet. The program name is printed on the
cassette.
6. Start the cassette recorder playing.
7. Press NEWLINE.
The approximate loading time is printed on the cassette.
If the program has not loaded after this time, try again

this program on the Sinclair ZX81.

program which simulates the piloting, motion and
navigation of a high-performance, twin-engine
aeorplane. Includes cockpit display with detailed
