AST-300 Simulator

 
 
AST-300 Simulator $50 per hour solo / $95 per hour dual.
 

The simulator is a great way to reduce your total cost of learning to fly. It is a single/twin engine simulator, so it creates effective training for instrument and multi-engine students. Virtually all airlines and corporate flight departments use simulators because of their efficiency and effectiveness. Come by and we'll be happy to give you a tour of our AST-300 equipped with DME, HSI, DUAL GLIDE SLOPE, SIMULATED FAILUTE CONTROLS. Dollar for dollar there is no better training device.
