The RealSimGear SR7x AATD is transforming how Palomar Aviation trains pilots. This FAA-approved simulator replicates the Cirrus G7 cockpit with true-to-life avionics, controls, and handling. Students can practice emergencies, master Perspective+ avionics, and log instrument approaches — all without burning aircraft hours. Instructors can pause, inject failures, and run realistic scenarios any time, in any weather. For flight schools, the SR7x adds revenue, reduces maintenance costs, and produces safer, more proficient pilots. As Palomar founder Rick Mosellar says: “It’s not just about passing a checkride — it’s about creating confident, competent pilots in command.”

Texas Southern University is redefining aviation education with the addition of two RealSimGear SR7x Pro simulators—bringing high-fidelity, FAA-grade flight training to one of the nation’s top-ranked programs.

When Luke Lachendro prepped for his Vision Jet type rating, he didn’t wait for day one in Knoxville—he trained from home using the RealSimGear SFx Pro. With fully functional avionics, tactile controls, and wraparound visuals, the SFx Pro gave him realistic, hands-on experience before ever stepping into the aircraft. FAA-approved as an AATD, it even allows for loggable time. The result? Luke showed up ahead—not just ready. Now, more Vision Jet pilots are doing the same: training before, during, and after their checkride—without leaving home.

RealSimGear has received FAA AATD certification for three professional-grade flight simulators: the SR7x Pro (Cirrus SR20/22), SFx Pro (Vision Jet), and DAx Pro (DA40 NG). Each simulator delivers a fully immersive, aircraft-specific experience with integrated instructor stations, force-feedback controls, and accurate avionics including Garmin G1000 NXi and Perspective Touch+. Now approved for loggable flight time under FAA guidelines, these turnkey solutions are ideal for flight schools, training centers, and private aircraft owners seeking high-fidelity training without in-aircraft costs.

We’re excited to announce a new product on the horizon: a 3-meter diameter, 220-degree wrap-around visual system, powered by three synchronized 4K projectors, complete with expert installation.
