Frequently Asked Questions
What is flight simulator training and how does it work?
Does simulator training count towards my pilot's license?
- The FAA allows 2.5 hours to be counted towards the Private Pilot requirements, and 10 hours towards the Instrument rating requirements.
- The real benefit lies in reducing the amount of time required to train in the aircraft. Most students require more than the FAA minimum hours before they are ready for the checkride. Spending some of those extra hours in the simulator at a far lower cost will help save money and keep your training on track when weather or maintenance cancel flights.
How much does simulator training cost?
When you compare that $55/hr simulator rate to the typical $160-$180/hr cost of renting an aircraft, and factor in that you can accomplish far more training in one simulator hour than in the same time in the air, the value is clear. You get more learning, in less time, at a fraction of the cost.
Can I log instrument approaches in the simulator?
Who can benefit from simulator training?
Are there prerequisites?
I am training at a different flight school, can I train here too?
Do you offer flight lessons in aircraft?
Our instructors can also provide training in your personally owned aircraft, ensuring seamless continuity between your simulator sessions and in-aircraft experience.

Efficiency & Cost Effective
Aircraft rentals can be costly and aren’t always the most practical choice for effective training.
Why spend upwards of $180/hr on aircraft rental when you can train smarter with advanced simulators for just $65/hr?
