The
only simulator designed to turn instrument students into instrument pilots.
"... a landmark step forward in IFR procedures training" — Private
Pilot Magazine
IP Trainer is the only IFR simulator with a foundation
of artificial intelligence in the form of a virtual instrument flight
instructor (CFII), the only interactive courseware designed exclusively
for instrument students, and the only program that can compare its knowledge
of the Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards against a student's
real-time flight simulation performance.
Most importantly, while you're using IP Trainer to build
a solid foundation of instrument skills, you'll also be saving money.
IP Trainer users consistently attain their Instrument Rating with less
dual time and with less expense than students who rely on traditional
methods alone, saving an average of $1,000 in their total training costs
for the rating. With a built-in CFII, spoken ATC guidance, the comprehensive Instrument
Flying textbook, and a full complement of IFR lessons, IP Trainer
is the single best way to bring instrument training home.
- Your CFII provides voice guidance and direction throughout your
training, and can demonstrate each of the lessons while you observe,
stop you if you make a mistake, explain what you need to do, back
you up for a second try, and rate your flying against the FAA Practical
Test Standards on every one of 133 different lessons.
- Using the building block technique, the program begins with basic
attitude flying, navigation, instrument approaches, and enroute
procedures, and concludes with a complete IFR checkride — all
the FAA Instrument Rating Practical Test Standard tasks are covered.
Each lesson begins with a briefing, and includes references to Instrument
Flying textbook, which ships with the program for an integrated
ground and flight training program. You can also leave the lesson
environment, and use the Free Flight mode and IP Trainer's realistic
Cessna 172 to practice what you've learned — a comprehensive
worldwide database is included.
- Throughout the lessons, the IP Trainer CFII gives you a detailed
report of each lesson, comparing your performance against the Instrument
Rating Practical Test Standards. Detailed maps show your overhead
and vertical flight paths, giving you a chance to reinforce the
instructor's remarks with a visual reference

FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS)
FITS products are more convenient, more accessible, less expensive,
and more relevant to today's pilots. The FAA FITS initiative is focused
on the redesign of general aviation training. Instead of training pilots
to pass practical tests, FITS focuses on expertly managed real-world
challenges. Scenario-based training is used to enhance GA pilots' aeronautical
decision making, risk management, and single pilot resource management
skills -- all without compromising basic stick and rudder skills resulting
in progressive pilot training that enhances safety. |
