Simulator
Performance Flight has one of the most advanced simulators available. The Frasca
Flight Training Device features a real Cirrus Cockpit complete with dual Garmin
430’s, CAPS (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System), S-TEC 55X Autopilot, deicing, active
circuit breakers, and much more. This is one of only two systems that have been
certified by the FAA as a Level 1 Flight Training Device. This level of certification
allows you to substitute simulator hours for flying time and provides you with an
opportunity to safely practice emergency procedures, such as launching the parachute,
or landing in high wind conditions.
An advanced instructor console allows for some serious training. Your instructor,
seated behind you and out of sight, can trip circuit breakers and change conditions
allowing you to hone your skills while gaining confidence.
Training with a simulator will offer you a great learning opportunity at a lower
cost than flying. We strongly encourage all pilots to utilize the simulator at least
10 hours per year to practice skills not normally conducted in the air.
