We offer three FAA-approved flight simulators (Advanced Aviation Training Devices). These devices can dramatically reduce the cost of your flying, because they can be used to satisfy significant portions of the FAA training time requirements for various certificates and ratings.
Why 'fly' a simulator rather than a real aircraft? For one thing, they're much less expensive than the real aircraft, with no aviation fuel costs to worry about. (Your instructor's fee is not included in the hourly rental cost.) You can experience a variety of training scenarios that would be time-consuming or unsafe to duplicate in an actual aircraft, you can receive credit towards your FAA training, and you can practice any maneuver before flying the real aircraft.
