CR-12 AATD

Advanced Aviation Training Device

Now available at Aileron Aviation is the full-feature Advanced Aviation Training Device ("AATD") model CR-12 from Precision Flight Controls. This AATD can be configured for 40 different aircraft, and best of all, the FAA approves logging time! This represents a significant cost savings for private, instrument, commercial and ATP students as well as for instrument pilots needing to maintain instrument proficiency.

​

The simulator also provides the ability to create challenging scenarios, otherwise impractical or too dangerous for actual flight. What's it like flying an instrument approach to minimums into Aspen, Colorado with ice on the wings? What about an electrical failure en-route when the ceiling is 1,000 feet? Or flight into a thunderstorm? Experience these real situations from the safety of the flight simulator and with help from a seasoned instructor.
