Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How much space is required to host a training center?
One of the biggest advantages of our system is its compact footprint. You only need a standard-sized office or a spare room at your facility.
The simulator runs on standard electrical outlets and does not require heavy industrial modifications. We will help you evaluate your specific space during our initial consultation.
Does the simulator time count toward FAA requirements?
Yes, within the limits of the FAA approval. Our commercial simulators are designed to meet rigorous standards, and when paired with our structured curriculum and an authorized instructor, the time logged can count toward instrument currency, part of an instrument proficiency check and specific certificate requirements. The Letter of Approval lists exactly what each configuration can credit.
Do I need to create my own training curriculum?
Not at all. When you partner with Solid Ground Aviation, you receive our complete, "plug-and-play" educational framework.
This includes an extensive catalog of pre-developed courses covering everything from the New Pilot Accelerator program to advanced avionics and emergency procedures. Your instructors simply follow the proven syllabus.
What happens if the simulator needs maintenance?
Our commercial partnership includes a comprehensive support framework. You are never left to figure things out on your own.
We provide ongoing technical support, software updates, and hardware troubleshooting to ensure your operation experiences minimal downtime and maintains a commercial standard of quality.
How are shipping and installation handled?
Shipping and installation fees vary based on your specific location and facility setup.
Once we finalize your partnership structure, we will provide a custom quote and coordinate the logistics to ensure your simulator is delivered, installed, and thoroughly tested before you open your doors.
