The Flight Lab

Our Flight Lab features the commercial version of X-Plane, with a panoramic view of the flight environment across five large screens. A mechanical yoke, rudder pedals, throttle quadrant, trim wheel, aviation radio, and panel switches are within easy reach. Flight Lab sessions typically run 2-3 hours, which includes a preflight briefing on the lesson material and that day's flight mission. Each session costs $149.

The Flight Lab, provided by Sunbreak Aviation, is more than just a flight simulator. It's a training program that guides student pilots through flight scenarios that build critical skills. As students complete sessions and unlock achievements, aircraft control starts to become intuitive.

This makes the transition to the airplane a much smoother process than traditional flight training, where students are asked to onboard a lot of new skills in an active flight environment.

We've been operating our Flight Lab for more than ten years, and we've enjoyed seeing its benefits. When done correctly, simulator training makes the learning process less frustrating, more effective, and always worth the effort.
