Train In New England

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • National Flight Simulator (NFS) offers an affordable and high-quality recurrent training experience, characterized by seasoned, aircraft-specific instructors and a "concierge-level" customer service approach.
  • The training methodology is highly engaging, utilizing a "give and take" systems review that the author found more effective and informative than standard instruction.
  • Although the simulators are generic (e.g., mimicking a Baron 58 instead of a Cessna 340A), NFS delivers a comprehensive multi-engine instrument refresher combined with an in-depth Cessna 340A systems review.
  • Despite the basic facility and simulator limitations, the author had a very positive experience, highly recommends NFS, and would willingly return for future training.

Like many of us, my insurance requires periodic formal recurrent training. Although choices are limited, I’ve tried to explore new (to me) facilities and to review that facility in these pages. This year I attended Cessna 340A Recurrent Training at National Flight Simulator in Manchester, NH. It was a positive experience and I’m glad I went.

Who?

Although they advertise, National Flight Simulator is one of those facilities that few of us know. It was started in 2006 in Nashua , New Hampshire by Steve Cunningham. Initially, his company was little more than Steve’s simulator in a corner of his hangar. But, Steve’s passion for aviation and for excellence in training led the company to expand to it’s current location at Manchester Airport, KMHT, in the former terminal building that was retired and turned into offices.
