Some Things Are Better Simulated--
Only an approved FAA simulator allows you to practice handling some situations a second time. They are just too dangerous or even impossible to train for in an aircraft. And, you can always walk away from whatever happens.

Save Money and Time--
Studies show that every hour in the simulator is worth two or more hours in an airplane.

Train on Your Time Schedule--
No ATC or weather delays. No taxi time with hobbs running. No rearranging of schedules to coordinate with an instructor because of the weather.

A Safe, Focused Environment--
While flying in the simulator, your full attention is devoted to your training and not on other distractions. And, the instructor’s full attention is focused on you and your training.

Save Wear and Tear on Your Airplane--
Permit yourself to make mistakes and go all the way. Risking the simulator while training is MUCH preferred over risking your aircraft.

Learn to Handle Any Situation--
Instruments go haywire, fog rolls in, even smoke in the cabin. It's always the unpredictable that challenges pilots during critical decision making. As the simulator workload increases, practicing the setting of priorities and experiencing how you choose to exercise your PIC duties, as well as handling the tasks at hand, will reveal strengths and areas where additional training is required.

Practice Makes Perfect--
The airlines, our military pilots, and our NASA aviation successes owe a considerable debt to professional and pragmatic training. The basis for all of this training is the simulator! When you practice and rehearse emergencies, techniques, and decision making in FAA-approved simulators, the outcome becomes very predictable-– a professional and well-trained pilot, able to handle the situation.
