Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Flight Simulator Training Partnerships.

A standard SGA training center requires only an empty room of at least 12x12 feet with standard commercial 120V power and climate control. Our turn-key SG-2 simulator setup is designed for rapid installation at airport FBOs, flight schools, or independent aviation facilities. Review our simulator hardware specifications for layout details.
Yes. Solid Ground Aviation simulators are FAA-approved Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATD). Pilots can log up to 2.5 hours toward their Private Pilot License, 20 hours toward an Instrument Rating, and 50 hours toward a Commercial Pilot Certificate, in addition to fulfilling FAA Instrument Proficiency Checks (IPC). See how this reduces student costs in our advantages of simulator training guide.
We provide an all-inclusive operating ecosystem: the FAA-approved SG-2 simulator, 35+ FAA-approved aircraft panel configurations, official Garmin and Aspen software licenses, complete syllabi for our accelerator flight programs, remote technical support, and localized marketing materials to attract pilots from day one.
Unlike traditional aircraft rentals which are vulnerable to bad weather, maintenance down-time, and volatile fuel prices, simulator centers operate 365 days a year. Operating costs are negligible (zero fuel, zero engine wear), allowing partners to capture 70% to 80% margins across instrument currency sessions, emergency drills, ground school, and youth discovery programs like our Young Aviators Program.
Partners typically include Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs), flight school owners, FBO operators, or aviation entrepreneurs. SGA provides comprehensive onboarding and instructor training so your local instructors can confidently deliver high-value training immediately. Read our aviation blog for tips on flight training operations.
The process begins with an introductory call to review your airport location, local pilot demand, and room dimensions. We will walk you through financial projections and implementation timelines. Schedule an exploratory meeting today to get started.
