Amazing simulator that you will get to experience at Florida Tech. Beautiful flight. Back on the ground. Notice how it changed from night to day so quickly.
Turning a Flight Simulator into Simulation Station
Once you get your private license you’ll be able to pursue your instrument rating. Part of the training you will complete will be in an advanced aircraft training device like this one. This is just one of the flight simulators you will find at Florida Tech’s Emil Buehler aviation training center.
The primary flight display helps you know your heading, altitude and airspeed making the simulation experience as real as possible.
As a student pilot you will need to practice focusing on making a safe approach and landing.
Florida Tech Aviation has an amazing twin engine trainer with 180-degree wrap-around screen allowing for more realistic visuals, giving you the safe training you will need.
You must complete a runway entry check before taking off. Doesn’t the screen image look real?
You will want to experience a multi-engine simulator before you ever fly a multi-engine plane.
Looks great from up here. Check out the river ahead. The simulated ground view makes it just the more real.
Clear left for traffic. Both engines are working perfectly, even in pouring rain. You won’t get wet; it just looks like it.
Once you get (simulated) altitude, it’s all smooth sailing. Check out how real the instruments appear.
This simulator offers such a realistic experience you often have to remind yourself that it’s not real.

“It feels real,” say aviation students when they’re seated in the cockpit of an FIT Aviation flight simulator. You might be in a twin-engine trainer with 180-degree wrap-around screen. Your eyes are on the horizon. Your hands are on the controls. The primary flight simulator display shows heading, altitude and airspeed. It’s all right there to take off, fly and land. What’s the weather like? Raining? Let’s change it from night to day. All clear on Runway 3? Coming in for a landing!
A simulator is a safe place to work on your pilot chops—just one tool to learn what you need to know—about flying and about safety. Two of the training devices, Seminole Level 5s, are state-of-the art—a $670,000 gift of the Emil Buehler Perpetual Trust in 2010. When you get your private license, you can pursue your instrument rating—an aircraft training device will help get you there. Fasten your seatbelts. This is some ride!
