Looks Good
Questions are:
1. Does PF3 use AIRAC data
2. Does PF3 use METAR Data to determine Rwys?
3. Does PF3 use the realworld SIDs and STARs name during ATC communication
4. Does PF3 use realworld Missed approaches
5. Does PF3 use approach holdings
6. Does PF3 deal with emergency during flight
Thanks

1. Yes, assuming the flight plan you give PF3 has the latest airac data.
2. Yes. You can create your own weather or that from a weather engine. Both will affect the operational runway. Though in addition PF3 will check which way any AI are pointing and that can affect the rwy allocation.
3. Yes, you tell PF3 which SIDs and STARs you expect to use for departure and arrival. You are allowed up to 7 characters. eg. ROKIB6J a SID out of Venezia or BRENO1A a STAR into Innsbruck.
4. You tell PF3 that you are executing a missed approach and then fly it yourself and await instructions.
5. Yes, this is a new feature in PF3. The old PFE had discretionary holds that were never correct!
5. One of the beta testers declared an emergency on everyone of his flights!!! You can set up an a/c profile which tells PF3 what airport to suggest for landing which could also be your alternate.
