Approved Flight Sim
Hello,
My flight school (a very small flight school) is looking at getting a Sim. Can any people recommend approved sims that are affordable and easy to run/install? They would just be using it for IFR training and multi training. Right now the school has a 172, 150 and Seneca. Any advice would help! -dr |

First, I note that you are posting from Canada....your rules nay be different. Second, I don't know what a "Sim" is, however, here in the USofA, our FAA categorizes the following devices: 1. Airplane Simulator 2. Airplane Flight Training Device (AFTD) 3. Personal Computer Aviation Training Device (PCATD) DEFINITIONS. (From FAA Advisory Circulars) a. An Airplane Simulator is a full size replica of a specific type or make, model, and series airplane cockpit, including the assemblage of equipment and computer software programs necessary to represent the airplane in ground and flight operations, a visual system providing an out-of-the-cockpit view, a force (motion) cueing system which provides cues at least equivalent to that of a three degree of freedom motion system; and is in compliance with the minimum standards for a Level A simulator specified in AC 120-40, as amended. b. An Airplane Flight Training Device is full scale replica of an airplane's instruments, equipment, panels, and controls in an open flight deck area or an enclosed airplane cockpit, including the assemblage of equipment and computer software programs necessary to represent the airplane in ground and flight conditions to the extent of the systems installed in the device; does not require a force (motion) cueing or visual system; is found to meet the criteria outlined in this AC for a specific flight training device level; and in which any flight training event or flight checking event is accomplished. c. PCATD's are distinct from Flight Training Devices (FTD) qualified under AC 120-45, Airplane Flight Training Device Qualification, current edition, and flight simulators qualified under AC 120-40, Airplane Simulator Qualification. AFS-800 has recently qualified and approved specific models of these devices for use as authorized and expects that additional models will be qualified and approved as they are developed by commercial enterprise within the aviation industry.
