In the World of Flight Simulators – Not All Are Created Equal!

Updated: May 15, 2018


If you plan to fly for one of the major commercial airlines or cargo carriers, you will eventually need to obtain an ATP certificate. A lot of airlines worldwide wish to see some large jet experience in a candidate’s training background, typically a type rating on a Boeing or Airbus product. The Boeing B-737 and the Airbus A320 are the most utilized aircraft by airlines worldwide. To earn these type ratings, you are going to spend a significant amount of time in a high fidelity, full flight simulator .


For pilots who seek to become Airline Transport Pilots (ATP), or need proficiency or currency flight training, high fidelity flight simulators become a necessity. Level D flight simulators, the highest level of fidelity, operate on a motion platform capable of rendering g loads in all six degrees of freedom. The visual system provides an outside-world view of at least 150 degrees horizontal field with a collimated (distant focus) display. The sound system is of equal fidelity when rendering various sounds such as those created by the engines when operating or the sound of air rushing past the airframe. Only Level D simulators meet all of the FAA’s and other regulatory agencies’ standards for aircraft type ratings, pilot proficiency checks and currency training.
