If it’s been a while since your last logbook entry, you’re not alone. Life happens—and for many pilots, time away from flying turns into months or even years. But the good news is: getting back in the air doesn’t have to be intimidating, expensive, or inefficient. With the right approach, rusty pilot training can be the start of a new, exciting chapter in your flying journey—and it can all start with a flight simulator.

At Solid Ground Aviation, our flight simulator in Maryland is a powerful tool to help you regain your confidence in a safe, structured, and cost-effective way. We believe that rusty pilot training should be comprehensive. It’s not just about remembering how to land an airplane; it’s about brushing up on regulations, procedures, airspace, radio communications, and flight planning tools like ForeFlight—all in one integrated setting.

Our FAA Approved BATD replicates the cockpit of the aircraft you’ll actually be flying. That means every knob, switch, and procedure you practice transfers directly into the real-world airplane. You’ll benefit from:

- Tailored briefings before each session, ensuring that your training focuses on what you need.
- Immediate application of each topic in the sim, helping reinforce lessons in real time.
- Cost-effective repetition, allowing you to practice maneuvers, approaches, or procedures as many times
as needed—without burning fuel or Hobbs time.

Whether you’re rejoining a flying club, preparing for a flight review, or simply want to enjoy aviation again, simulator-based training helps you make the most of your budget while rebuilding your skills.

**Updated Tools, Updated Confidence**
For many returning pilots, digital tools like ForeFlight have changed significantly since their last flight. The simulator provides a risk-free environment to refresh your knowledge of electronic flight bags, GPS procedures, and updated ATC expectations.

With the right guidance and realistic simulation, rusty pilot training becomes more than a checklist requirement—it becomes the launchpad to enjoying aviation again.
