Least Technology to get the job done

All flight training is simulation. In the air, you and your instructor simulate emergencies, exams, and real world scenarios.

Design Factors
Environment

Where you set-up a simulator matters. Prioritize: Low light, low background noise, private.

Field of View

For VFR and circuit pattern work, its important to see where the plane is going. Wide screen monitors and multi-monitor setups are valuable.

Trim Controls

In an aircraft, pitch trim is usually controlled by a wheel control and an electric thumb control. Aim to have both in your hardware.

Tactile Buttons

In all flight, and especially IFR: knobs, buttons and switches are used. Multi function knobs and buttons are valuable add-ons.
