"Cessna 57 Charlie" hold short runway 14 at gulf, departing traffic"
Each player waits, in sequence on the taxiway. The pilot in position holds
for his release which is obtained by answering the question correctly. Departed
traffic flies along the actual enroute chart game board toward their
destination; circumnavigating thunderstorms, holding at fixes or climbing and
descending to meet MEAs. Fly through controlled airspace and ATC issues traffic
alerts and new clearances to you or one of your opponents. Caught not following
the rules and the "inspector" may ramp check your knowledge. Whether you’re a
student or an ATP, appropriate knowledge and trivia is tested throughout your
trip, unless of course, you never get past Hold Short.

"Hold Short" is an educational and fun board game
(not computer software) for aviators,
student through ATP. |
 |
The game pieces are divided into single engine, multi-engine
and jet aircraft, corresponding to private, commercial and ATP respectively. |
 |
The game starts by aligning the aircraft along the taxiway.
The first in line moves into position and the "inspector" asks the
appropriate Hold Short question for the rating of the pilot. Aircraft
instructed to land by ATC (see below) must sequence themselves behind all
others and await departure. |
 |
The Hold Short questions can be either knowledge-based or
trivia. If the inspector draws a "Ramp Check" card, any question from
the AIM, FARs, POH/AFM is fair game. He could also point to something
on the chart and ask you to explain it. The questions are separated by
student/private, commercial and ATP categories. |
 |
Once airborne, you navigate along the mounted enroute chart
according to the rules. If you prefer, you can use any VFR sectional
or IFR enroute chart in place of the mounted chart. |
 |
Landing on a navaid necessitates the pilot to follow the ATC
instructions for the airspace he is flying (A-E). Some instructions
actually effect your opponent more than you. You may even be
instructed to land. MEA changes and MCAs require the instrument rated
pilot to answer the MEA change question. Lastly ATC may issue a thunderstorm
advisory from time to time. |
 |
Thunderstorms are placed along the route by the inspector
when an advisory is issued. All aircraft must then navigate around the
markers. |
 |
Quick start and full instructions are provided. The
full instructions are written and structured much like the FARs and are by
design more complex than the quick start instructions. This is an
educational aid to help student pilots become familiar with regulatory
verbiage.
Can non-pilots play? Depending upon your level of interest,
aspiring pilots and youngsters will find the challenge of the game an
inspiration to learn more about aviation. Non-pilots who just want to
spend some time with other family members can play by "inverted" rules; i.e.
you move ahead when you answer the question incorrectly (you have a 2 out of
3 chance.) |
A great gift for aviation enthusiasts of all ages and a fun way to refresh,
stay current and challenge
your aviation knowledge.
