WHY TRAIN IN A SIMULATOR?-

Our simulator based training courses take place in environment where there is no risk of physical harm or monetary loss.

Pilots are exposed to a full range of emergency situations in the simulator which improves competency and confidence and reduces human error related accidents or expensive damage to turbine engines.

Simulator based training substantially reduces the amount of time a pilot needs to reach or maintain a high standard of proficiency, the actual "learning time" per training hour is far greater than a real airplane, the operating cost per hour is far less than for the equivalent airplane, and training is not weather or daylight dependent. This makes our training courses very cost effective.

Accident statistics also support the fact that pilots who train regularly in simulators have consistently better safety records than those that don't.
