TAA FLIGHT SIMULATION

TAA flight procedures are best developed and mastered using our ELITE Flight Simulation equipment in conjunction with actual aircraft training.

Our ELITE Flight Simulator is approved by the FAA as a Basic ATD (Aviation Training Device). The ELITE Basic ATD is approved for logging hours toward Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot and Instrument Rating Certification. Additionally, the ELITE Basic ATD is approved for the logging of the Six Approaches for meeting the FAA IFR Recency of Experience requirement.

Professional use of our ELITE Flight Simulator enables our Instructors to equip Pilots and Students with exceptional TAA flying skills in the following areas of TAA Aircraft operations:

Flight Director
Autopilot WAAS GPS Operations – Departure, Enroute, Arrival
ATC Clearance Handling and Compliance
Basic Instrument Flying
Emergency Procedures
Situational and Positional Awareness
Decision Making
Cockpit Resource Management
Checklist and Cockpit Announcement Procedures
Error Recognition and Recovery
