Flight Simulator Training Device (FSTD)

At Sydney Flight Training, we have CASA approval to offer both Instrument Rating (IR) and Private IFR (PIFR) training.

 

As part of our approval, we have a CASA approved Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) that has been designed by world class ELITE Simulation products.

ELITE Simulator in use at Sydney Flight Training

ELITE Simulator

 

ELITE Simulators are a world class procedural trainer with a force feedback loading system on the control yoke that reacts to airflow, very similar to a real-life aircraft. Equipped with a Garmin 750, Automatic Direction Finder, VOR/ILS receivers and Marker Beacon receivers, this advanced trainer provides an excellent interactive training experience.

 

The ELITE simulator offers you the ability to fulfill the following CASA syllabus hours at a substantially reduced cost than that of in-aircraft training.

​

  • 20 hours – Instrument Rating

  • 10 Hours – Private Instrument Rating (PIFR)

  • 5 hours – Commercial Pilot Licence

  • 2 Hours – Night VFR rating

  • 1 hour – Private Pilot Licence

  • All IFR Recency & Proficiency Requirements (Flight time & Approaches)

SFT Task Trainers

 

Sydney Flight Training has two task trainers available for our students. Our task trainers offer an affordable way to master aircraft systems and navigation equipment. You'll gain valuable hands-on experience and build confidence in a risk-free environment, all while significantly reducing your training costs compared to in-flight instruction.​

​

 

Task Trainer 1

This is set up as a Piper Arrow 3, a very similar configuration to the Piper Warriors in our fleet. The Arrow has retractable undercarriage (RU) and constant speed propeller (MPPC), two design features that you may wish to add to your training. The task trainer sim is set up with two Garmin G5's and Garmin 430, like the avionics set up in our Warriors. Prior to flying the Richmond west lane this is a great place to practice and get familiar with the procedures.​

 

Task Trainer 2

Our second task trainer is set to be a Cirrus SR20 which mirrors VH-IPP a Cirrus SR20 G3 GTS. An affordable introduction to the glass cockpit world featuring dual Garmin G1000 displays - the Garmin GFC700 autopilot and the Garmin FMS (Flight Management System). An ideal opportunity to familiarise yourself with the buttons prior to getting in the aeroplane.

Please check our rates for costs associated with our sims and for more information on FSTD training, please get in touch.
