So why a sim facility? Simply put, in today's uncertain economic times, a sim provides the most cost-effective training available. Flight training today keeps getting more and more expensive, and sim work allows you a very economical and effective way to keep those hard-earned skills sharp. There is even a "frequent flyer" program. Additionally Sim Flite Minnesota now offers you an opportunity to learn glass. The glass cockpit is starting to replace the traditional "six pack" of flight instruments. It contains a world of information, and trying to learn glass while bouncing around in the cockpit of an airplane is an expensive and often fruitless endeavor. The sim is the ideal venue for learning the ins and outs of PFDs and MFDs. A good sim offers far more than initial training for the instrument rating. For example a good sim can provide: Effective understanding of VOR and NDB navigation for the primary student Trip preparation - approaches into any airport in continental U.S. Instrument training, up to 20 hours towards the instrument rating Instrument currency and partial IPC Learn glass with the new G1000 sim Learn all normal and emergency multi-engine procedures Multi-engine recurrent training GPS training Autopilot and flight director training Interview prep Part 135 training Prep for Flight Safety Frequent flyer" program The two major sim instructors are Linda Dowdy and Steve Thibault.
