Simulator

A recent statistical analysis of aircraft accidents involving aircraft less than 12,500 pounds showed that pilots who use training devices are 8 times less likely to be involved in an accident than pilots who only train in aircraft!

Do training devices really produce a safer more proficient pilot?

The airlines, corporate aviation, the FAA and Insurance Companies think so!

Three Times the Training Per Hour

Simulators eliminate the delays of airport congestion and the unplanned ATC vectors while providing total control over the lesson plan.  With 'freeze and reposition' capabilities a lesson can be stopped, discussed, and then started again.  Specific lessons can be practiced many more times per hour.  Simulators are NEVER delayed due to winds or other inclement weather conditions and can be positioned over the practice area instantly.

A Superior Training Environment to an Actual Aircraft

Better communication due to lower noise levels and a controlled climate (air conditioning) provides a better concentration on learning.

More Realistic Training of Emergency Procedures

No more covering instruments and pretending that it failed.   Simulators realistically replicate system failures, as they would occur in the aircraft, including failures too dangerous to practice in an aircraft.

The "Hawk" reproduces the actual flight characteristics of a Piper Seminole or Archer − it does everything except MOVE!  The cockpit and instruments are set up to look and feel and respond just like the real thing!

Whether you're a seasoned pilot wanting to sharpen your skills or working on your Instrument Ticket − this Training Device gives you more for your money.
