Train In New England

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • National Flight Simulator (NFS) offers affordable recurrent flight training in a basic but sufficient facility, emphasizing personalized instruction from highly experienced aviators and a "concierge-level" customer experience.
  • The training provides interactive systems reviews and simulator work focused on instrument currency and general malfunctions, though the simulators are generic rather than aircraft-specific for models like the Cessna 340A.
  • Despite the generic nature of the simulators, the author had a very positive experience due to the quality instruction and overall value, highly recommending NFS and expressing a clear intention to return.

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.
