This "enclosed cockpit" simulator is perfect for saving time and money. This applies to student pilots, private pilots working toward their instrument rating, and instrument pilots. It's a great gift idea for non-pilots and flying companions who would like to learn more about flying in a perfectly safe environment.

Student pilots save money and time practicing ATC communications, VOR navigation, flying by reference to instruments, and more. Instrument students save money learning holding patterns, instrument approaches, instrument procedures, and more. Instrument pilots save money retaining their currency by flying approaches, holds, and intercepting and tracking courses. Practice instrument skills in weather you would be uncomfortable to fly through in real life. Instrument pilots save money preparing and taking a proficiency check.

This simulator has been FAA approved for logging the following training and experience when under the supervision of a properly certificated instructor.

• 20 hours toward an instrument rating (FAR 61.65(e)(2))
• 2.5 hours toward the instrument training for a private pilot. (FAR 61.109 (k)(1))
• Instrument currency (FAR 61.57 (c)(1))
• Instrument proficiency checks (FAR 61.57 (d)(1))

We believe you will find the simulator helpful as a training aid for many areas. It provides the ability to simulate emergencies that would not be safe in an actual aircraft; practice approaches at airports you will visit on vacation (like Oshkosh!); experience extreme crosswind landings; practice radio navigation efficiently and more.
