Advantages of Flight Simulators

• Training in flight simulators is an integral part of pilot training. Modern Advanced Aircraft training devices (AATD) make flight training both economical and efficient and make flight training safer.

• Simulator training enables a student to practice potentially dangerous procedures safely. Pilots can practice procedures over and over again until they get everything exactly right.

• Type ratings, checks, training for emergencies, and almost all of today's advanced training for commercial pilots is largely done on the ground in flight simulators. This has made simulator technology indispensable for safe emergency procedures practice.
