FAA Packages

RealSimGear FAA Certified Packages

RealSimGear now offers FAA Approved, Basic Aviation Training Device (BATD) simulator packages.  These packages have been developed to allow you to have a realistic, affordable and now FAA approved way to log time and maintain currency requirements.

The RealSimGear FAA Approved flight simulators are the most affordable certified simulators that use real buttons and knobs which mean you are not forced to use a distracting touch screen or have your view obscured by clumsy overlays.  Real buttons and knobs allow you to develop the muscle memory and actual work flow patterns that are important for practising all types of flight procedures.

Per the terms of certification, the RealSimGear BATD products allow for:

• § 61.51(b)(3) – Logbook entries
• § 61.51(h) – Logging training time

Additionally, practical tests, type specific training credit, and Instrument Proficiency Checks cannot be conducted in a BATD.
