+  When you choose to register, the <i>Registraton</i> page is displayed. Enter
+  the data requested. The data items in italics (phone number and nationality)
+  are not mandatory. One of VATSIM or an IVAO ID are mandatory, so register
+  with one of these on-line networks first. The password should be at least 5
+  characters long. It is recommended to use one that consists of a mix of
+  upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and possibly special characters.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  When all necessary data has been entered, click <b>Register</b>. Your data
+  will be recored in the MAVA database, and if all goes well, a dialog is
+  displayed containing your <i>Pilot ID</i>, which is in the
+  format <i>Pnnn</i>, where <i>nnn</i> is a 3-digit number (e.g. <i>P210</i>).
+  Note it down for further reference along with your password. These data can
+  be used to log in to the MAVA website, forums and education centre.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  When you click <b>OK</b> in the dialog, you will be taken to the <i>Student</i>
+  page:
+  </p>
+
+  <img src="student.png" alt="The Student page"/>
+
+  <p>
+  This page displays the status of you entry exam and check flight and you can
+  also initiate these from here.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  The entry exam is an online theoretical exam, taken in the
+  <a href="http://mavasystems.hu/moodle">MAVA Education Centre</a>. Clicking
+  the <b>Take the entry exam</b> button takes you to the login page, where you
+  should enter your pilot ID and password to get access to the exam. If you
+  have successfully completed the test the status in the <i>Student</i> page
+  will update. However, this might take a few minutes until the website will
+  update itself and the logger will also notice it.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  The check flight is a simple flight, during which you take off from the
+  Budapest Ferihegy Airport (LHBP), fly a SID, fly to the entry point of an
+  approach transition, fly the transition and land. (If you are not familiar
+  with these ideas, please, learn about them as you will need to know them
+  perform your regular flights for MAVA.) You can select the type of the
+  aircraft you wish to fly (currently the Boeing 737NG family and the Bomardier
+  Dash-8 Q400 are available), and then click on <b>Perform the check
+  flight</b>. You will be then <a href="#tabFlight">taken through</a> the steps
+  of the flight almost as in case of a regular flight starting with the
+  <a href="#connectPage"><i>Connect</i></a> page.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  Your flight is successful, if you commit no NO-GO mistakes, otherwise you
+  need to try it again. In both cases you can save the PIREP into a file and
+  send it to your mentor at MAVA for further advice.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+  If you start the program later, it will check your rank. If it is STU
+  (student), you will always be taken to this page. If you have passed both the
+  entry exam and the check flight, your rank will become FO (First Officer) and
+  which case you select flights via the MAVA website and fly them with the
+  logger. In this case, you will be taken to
+  the <a href="#flightSelectionPage">Flight selection</a> page after a
+  successful login.
