How to use a Simulator

When we started our sim-training business, we thought our strongest selling point would be logging cheaper time, such as the 20 hours of the instrument tickets required 40. We were wrong. The sim is a more efficient pilot training environment and shouldnt be seen as a replacement for the airplane. Time logged is a nice bonus, but the real value is the learning efficiency and effectiveness. Once pilots and CFIs understand this, the training opportunities are vastly expanded.

Key Takeaways:

• Flight simulators provide a superior, more efficient, and effective pilot training environment by enabling repetitive "perfect practice" in a safe, low-anxiety setting.
• They allow instructors to build complex skills using a "building blocks" approach, focusing on one task at a time, and provide realistic training for emergencies and anomalous circumstances that are dangerous or impossible in an actual aircraft.
• By fostering imaginative instruction and focused learning without the inherent risks of flying, simulators help create more adaptable and proficient pilots who master techniques before transitioning to the airplane.
