Customers Speak

I want to thank you for the excellent flight instruction I have received over the years from you. I thought our last recurrent work was the best yet. I was astounded when, at the beginning, you asked me what I thought I needed. Then we addressed those areas.
     Thank you,
     Barry Morris,

	Full Motion Flight Training Device




		Only Aero-Tech combines 40 years of successful pilot proficiency training, 10,000 hour, aircraft-specific instructors and a reality-based, total immersion, personal training environment. Our FAA Approved, Level 2, Flight Training Device goes far beyond typical training devices. She uses full motion and full visuals with aircraft-specific modeling. 140 degrees of visual display provides unparalleled VFR and IFR flight simulation Your simulator is located in a private sim-suite, separate from other training activities. A tremendous value in your training time and dollars.


	Pilots today know about the benefits of full flight simulation in training and expect to be exposed to the latest available technologies. Standards for recurrent & proficiency flight training are tough. Underwriters prefer training to be taken out of the cockpit and into simulators and flight training devices. It's safer, more efficient and more effective than training in the airplane. The full motion MOTUS training device is the closest thing to real flight: it totally immerses the pilot in the training scenario …something which simply can't be done in a fixed simulator. She is fully type specific for each aircraft – including start sequence, throttle quadrant, and aerodynamic performance. Aero-Tech can give you total flight immersion training in which the pilot can be fully "task loaded" with turbulence, winds, ATC requests, system failures and emergencies. . Aero-Tech can uniquely drive your proficiency and confidence to higher standards.

	Preparing for a pre-hire interview? Look to Aero-Tech to provide your sim warm up. More than just IFR currency, be prepared to do your best with an airline-style unit in a multitude of scenarios. We have fully utilized our staff and our graduates, many who today fly for an airline, have produced a special curriculum of simulator training geared towards the aspiring new hire. With the airline quality visual cues through collimated optics and 35 degree horizontal field of view, Aero-Tech is your best option for preparing for that important upcoming interview. Your pre-hire interview flight doesn't need to be tension filled. The combined wealth of experience and knowledge of Aero-Tech people will assist you in hearing, "You're hired!"
