Students PC-based IFR simulation is becoming the accepted method of initial instrument training and procedures practice for students and pilots. Up to 10 hours can be logged toward the instrument rating with a PCATD (P C Aviation Training Device) plus an unlimited amount of ground training hours. Complex procedures such as NDB intercepts, intersection holds with gusting winds, and in-flight, realistic instrument or system failures can be performed, analyzed and replayed. By mastering these skills on the ground, students can cut significantly into the time and cost of traditional flight training. VFR student pilots also get great benefit from the less stressful ground simulated basic instrument and navigation training. Pilots IFR and VFRWith a PCATD flight simulator pilots can familiarize themselves with and fly those difficult procedures found at most busy airports on the ground before ever attempting them in the air. Feel comfortable with every procedure and have the peace of mind that you have practiced the skills you need to handle the busiest airspace in simple, complex, and multiengine aircraft. A PCATD lets you practice complex tasks in absolute safety. CFI’sAs instructors you already know the value of simulator training. You also know the frustration your students sometime feel when being introduced to a new procedure while trying to also stay ahead of an airplane in flight. Instrument flight training can be overwhelming at times to the student. An airplane does not always make a good classroom when introducing new concepts. Using a PCATD can speed the learning process and create a relaxing and fun atmosphere for you and your student while you simply demonstrate instrument scan or a complex terminal procedure.
