Although it was originally designed as a procedures trainer for patrol and SAR applications, this simulator, being FAA-certified as an Advanced Aviation Training Device, provides additional benefits.

Once exclusive to government agencies, airlines, and corporate flight departments, the exponential growth of computing power over the past twenty years has now made this once-privileged level of simulation technology accessible to general aviation users.

In addition to leveraging this newly available technology to focus on the type of flying that AuxAir does, this simulator can also offer valuable experiences that users can bring into their own flying. These include practicing approaches to airports they haven't flown into before, performing abnormal procedures in a risk-free environment, and, because this simulator is FAA-certified, certain tasks and times are loggable.

Maintaining Instrument Currency:

(i) Execute and log six Instrument approaches within the previous six months .

(ii) Holding procedures and tasks.

(iii) Intercepting and tracking courses through the use of navigational electronic systems.

In addition, the following times are also loggable:

• Up to 20 Hours of experience toward an Instrument Rating.
• Up to 2.5 hours toward a Private Pilot Certificate.
• Up to 50 hours toward a Commercial Certificate.
• Up to 25 hours toward an ATP Certificate.
