Buckle up as you take a journey through the exciting world of flight simulation. This offers countless benefits to our student pilots. Aboard the Frasca Cessna 172 pilot training flight simulator, Leading Edge Flight Academy students can gain up to 40 percent of their instrument flight experience required by the FAA.

What is the Frasca Cessna 172? Your Portal to Real-Life Scenarios

Imagine stepping into a cockpit that mirrors the exact layout and instrumentation of a real Cessna 172. Every dial, switch, and gauge is at your fingertips. From the adjustable control panels to the responsive yoke and rudder pedals, the simulator provides an immersive experience close to the real thing. 

But what truly sets this simulator apart is its sophisticated software. It recreates diverse weather conditions, flight scenarios, and airfields with stunning realism. Feel the turbulence of challenging crosswinds and the thrill of flying through a rainstorm in low visibility conditions—all without leaving the ground. The simulator also integrates Garmin GPS, radio communications, and autopilot systems for students to learn all aspects of flight controls. 

The Benefits of Using a Pilot Training Flight Simulator vs. an Actual Aircraft

Safety First

The first and most obvious benefit of pilot flight simulator training is safety. Student pilots train for stressful in-flight situations that might be challenging or unsafe to recreate in a real aircraft. With the flight simulator, there is similar feedback at the controls but with less risk involved if something goes wrong. 

Accelerated Learning at a Reduced Cost

Real flight hours are costly. From gas to repairs to aircraft booking, the material costs of preparing for flight training add up quickly. In our pilot training flight simulator, students can practice maneuvers, procedures, and instrument flying at a fraction of the cost of actual flight time. This ensures they make the most of every real-world minute in their flight checks. 

Versatile Scenarios 

Condensing the learning curve is sometimes necessary when student pilots need to practice certain scenarios more than others. A flight simulator is great for this style of scenario-based training. From night flying to handling emergencies or navigating intricate airspace, the simulator is a great option for things that are unsafe to replicate in a real aircraft. 

Why the Frasca Cessna 172 Pilot Training Flight Simulator? 

The Frasca Cessna 172 is an internationally recognized flight simulator. It is used by military and civilian pilot training schools to prepare students for the skies through practicing emergency procedures, new in-flight maneuvers, and flying in adverse weather. The flight simulator is the industry standard that flight schools, the military, universities, aircraft manufacturers, and airlines nationwide use to train world-class pilots. And because this is a software-based tool, learning material can be upgraded with new content and scenarios to provide flight academy students with fresh learning experiences.
