ASA Instrument Rating IP Trainer 7 Flight Simulation Software

SUMMARY   |   DETAIL »

The only simulator designed to turn instrument students into instrument pilots.

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.

New for Version 7: on-screen warnings, CFII Tips, Scan Trainer and Repeat features. See Detailed Description for more information!

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.
