The F70 Professional is a complex, high-fidelity simulation of the F70 regional jet for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. Developed using extensive real-world reference material, technical documentation and feedback from experienced F70 pilots and engineers, this study-level aircraft faithfully recreates the performance, systems and operational characteristics of one of Europe's most successful regional jets.

Designed as the smaller sibling of the F100, the F70 offers efficient short- and medium-haul operations with seating for up to 80 passengers and a range of more than 1,500 miles. A state-of-the-art glass cockpit and avionics suite allows the F70 to remain a popular choice with operators around the world.

AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS

• Electrical systems: Independent APU, engine, and external power sources, and fully simulated electrical buses with load shedding
• Hydraulic systems: Independent System 1 and System 2 hydraulic systems with realistic pressure, quantity and supply to subsystems, and electrically driven pumps
• Fuel system: Realistic fuel quantity and consumption based on real world data, with automatic and manual centre tank fuel transfer via centre tanks
