At Niedra Aviation our goal is to provide you with the best pilot training experience, while helping you to stay on budget.
  • FAA Instrument Rating requirements are specified in Federal Regulations and Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards.
  • Part of these requirements are 40 hours instrument/simulated instrument training. As private pilot you already have at least 3 hours of instrument training.
  • CFR 14 Part 61 specifies that 20 of required 40 hours can be flown in FAA approved simulator that qualifies as Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD).
  • Benefits of our AATD simulator:
    • Enhanced Operation Safety. System failures can be simulated on ground.
    • Reduced Cost. 20 hours in FAA approved simulator will save you $1,300
    • Flight Training efficiency. AATD training environment allows 5-6 different practice approaches each training hour vs. 2-3 approaches in an aircraft. In an actual flight environment approach variety usually is limited by the weather conditions and traffic flow.
    • Simulator have a PAUSE button to analyze errors and enhance training, while the actual aircraft doesn't have this luxury.
