Common questions about booking, using, and logging time in aviation simulators for training or practice.
Yes, if the simulator is FAA-approved (e.g., AATD, FTD), time can be logged toward certain certificate and rating requirements under an instructor’s supervision.
Not always. Solo sessions are often allowed, but time logged for training must typically involve an authorized instructor or endorsement.
AATDs are Advanced Aviation Training Devices approved by the FAA, while FTDs (Flight Training Devices) are more advanced and closer to actual aircraft systems.
Only if the setup is part of a certified AATD/FTD system. Home use versions are great for practice but not valid for logged hours.
Yes, most providers offer custom scenarios like crosswinds, emergencies, and IMC conditions tailored to your training needs.
Full-motion simulators offer enhanced realism, but fixed-base sims are excellent for procedures, IFR work, and checklist practice.
Absolutely. Many rental providers welcome external instructors as long as credentials are verified and procedures followed.
Rates range from $30/hr for desktop AATDs to $300/hr+ for full-motion simulators, depending on features and certification level.
Yes. Most certified simulators include options to simulate engine failure, avionics loss, weather challenges, and more.
Bring your logbook, ID, any checklists you use, and optionally a headset if required. Some facilities may provide accessories.
