Gathering knowledge and building proficiency

We believe that you learn better by doing and doing often. Getting your hands on something you’ve read or watched can help embed the subject procedures.
That’s simulation training.

East Coast IFR Experience (ECIE)

Doug Stewart talks about the importance of making the turn without delay when cleared by ATC for the course intercept.

One-to-One Webinar

Simulation has been a central component of flight training for the military and airlines for decades. And for good reason - it works. Professional pilots travel regularly to regional centers at Flight Safety International or SIMCOM for compulsory sim training. But what about the rest of us? These sessions can cost thousands of dollars and there are not many Level D sims configured as Skyhawks, Mooneys, or SR22’s. So where do we go? Not as far as you think and not for as much as you think. If you’re a pilot, instructor or flight training center with an ATD you’ll want to download our ebook.
