Feature-Rich Flight Simulator
FAA-Approved Configurations
- Based upon ELITE BATD-135
- Fly IFR holds, approaches, and DME arcs. Fail nav components, practice compass-only approaches
- FAA-Approved Glass Cockpits include: E-500, GNS 530 WAAS, and GTN 750
- Compatibility with Foreflight includes GPS mapping and geo-referenced approach plates
Virtual Cockpit
- Cross reference ground horizon with intersection points within the cockpit to associate "pitch pictures" for VFR maneuvers
- Great tool for beginning students learning constant airspeed ascents/descents or attitudes for stalls/steep turns
Formation Flying
- Fly wing-to-wing w/ other pilots on the network
- A 2nd flight sim is set up physically adjacent to the primary sim utilizing a VR Headset
- Pilots of both sims connect general aviation headsets to intercom for pilot-to-pilot comm
Live Air Traffic Control (PilotEdge)
- Practice radio calls; talk to real-world ATC controllers on airport-specific frequencies
- Receive IFR clearances from take-off to landing
- See and Avoid other Pilots on the network
- PilotEdge includes network-wide ATIS information (unique to each airport) associated with real-world weather
Wide Field-of-View
- Practice maneuvers not possible with single (or three-screen) simulators (e.g. "Turns Around a Point" or "Eights on pylons")
- Never lose sight of the runway from mid-downwind, through base, and landing
- Utilize wingtip references for straight & level flight (as a beginning student) or for symmetry during aerobatics
