Weaver Vector's flight training simulator, also known as an aviation training device (ATD), is a highly realistic flight tool for training and re-currency practice. Users can simulate flying in various flight conditions in a safe, controlled, and affordable environment for pilots to practice a wide range of flight maneuvers and emergency procedures, making it a valuable tool for pilots of all levels. This flight simulator training is highly versatile and can be conveniently configured to work with multiple makes and models of single-engine airplanes.
The flight training simulator is an excellent tool for instrument training. It offers customizable scenarios and weather conditions that allow pilots to practice instrument approaches and procedures without the added cost and complexity of flying in actual instrument conditions. With its advanced technology and unparalleled realism, the simulator is the ultimate flight training and proficiency tool. You can reserve the simulator for one-hour sessions, and it's approved to log your flight time to comply with FAA regulations.
A pilot training flight simulator is a computer program that simulates aircraft flight in various environments and conditions. It's also known as Flight Training Devices (FTD), Aviation Training Devices (ATD), or Full Flight Simulators (FFS). These flight training simulators are primarily used to enhance pilot training since training in adverse conditions is not always safe or practical for student pilots.
For instance, student pilots can encounter variations in air density, wind shear, turbulence, clouds, and precipitation, which can be risky. Using a flight training simulator, pilots can practice flying in all types of weather conditions and practice complicated maneuvers.
Flight simulator training allows pilots to teach themselves, expand on lessons, and simulate flights at airports worldwide. During flight simulator training, flight instructors can observe student pilots' reactions to these factors, check their application of flight controls, and the effects of other aircraft systems. Weaver Vector's flight simulator provides safe training conditions and reduces costs.
A flight training simulator recreates aircraft flight and the surrounding environment artificially. Simulators can replicate different aircraft, locations, airports, pilot ratings, flight scenarios, and weather conditions. Weaver Vector's simulator is FAA-approved, permitting pilots to log flight hours legally according to FAA regulations.
One of the significant advantages of a flight training simulator is that it significantly helps pilots improve their VFR (Visual Flight Rules) and IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) navigation skills. Pilots can virtually fly to almost any destination and practice landings at unfamiliar airports. Flight simulators allow pilots to pre-fly an upcoming cross-country trip, which boosts their confidence and gives them peace of mind. Furthermore, simulators offer pilots exceptional precision and detail when entering and executing instrument procedures and flights using navigational equipment.
Reduce the costs of initial training, currency, and proficiency! Flight simulators are more cost-effective to maintain than actual aircraft. For example, simulators eliminate the need for fuel, which reduces training costs for student pilots. Additionally, simulators offer a safe environment for pilots to practice challenging maneuvers without the risk of damaging an actual aircraft. Using flight training simulators means no repair bills for damaged aircraft, which benefits everyone involved.
However, it's important to note that pilots must still log hours in real aircraft to gain experience. While simulator time can be entered into a pilot's logbook as training time, it cannot be counted as flight time. Therefore, these hours cannot be logged as total time.
Yes! You can do all six of your instrument approaches, including holds in the simulator. However, a qualified instrument instructor must be present!
You can do the entire IPC check in the simulator except for the circling approach to a landing. The circling approach must be conducted in the actual aircraft.
Weaver Vector proudly presents the Redbird TD, a simulator with three screens and advanced flight training tools, perfect for a realistic flying experience in a small space. The Redbird TD is designed ergonomically to ensure that the yoke, gauges, professional-grade Alloy RD1 rudder pedals, and visuals are placed correctly for the pilot. The FAA has approved this simulator as a Basic Aviation Training Device (BATD) for a generic single-engine piston aircraft. Pilots can log 10 hours of dual instruction out of the 40 required for an instrument rating. Pilots can also rent it for solo practice for other navigation or to log time and maintain proficiency if they are already Instrument rated.

Basic Aviation Training Device (BATD)
Please Note: Minimum training or experience requirements for cross country, night, solo, takeoffs and landings, and the 3 hours of training with an authorized instructor in preparation for the practical test within the preceding 2 calendar months from the month of the test must be accomplished in an aircraft. Private Pilot Airplane applicants must also complete the minimum requirement for 3 hours of control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to instruments specified in § 61.109 in an airplane. No portion of the practical test, type specific training credit or Instrument Proficiency Check can be conducted in a BATD. Additionally, the flight portion of a flight review specified in § 61.56(a) cannot be accomplished in a BATD.
The Redbird TD is a table-mounted flight training simulator that provides an ergonomic flying experience. Unlike traditional "desktop" flight simulators that sit on top of a table or desk, the Redbird TD is hung under the table, which allows for a more realistic and comfortable position for the pilot. The yoke, switches, gauges, pedals, and visuals are all placed in the correct position for the pilot, making the training experience more realistic.
