“Couldn’t be better. Excellent materials. I liked the attention to generalization versus getting lost in details.”

If you’re like many of our students, you recently purchased a flight simulator after hearing how it can aid your flight training and make you a more proficient pilot.
We get it. You’re an aspiring pilot…but perhaps not much of a computer whiz or gamer.
Maybe you’ve installed X-Plane, but you’re overwhelmed by basic things—like how to interact with cockpit controls and set your views.
Or perhaps you’ve also wondered how to optimize your simulator’s performance by tweaking graphics settings, adding VR, or using add-ons.
If so, this course has been built specifically for you!
It’s true that the internet is full of free information on how to use X-Plane. In fact, there’s an extremely detailed user manual for X-Plane available here.
However, what this course does is distill that information (around 50,000 words—yikes!) into a fully interactive, live course specifically designed for real-world pilots and flight students like yourself.
It’s a unique opportunity for you to learn X-Plane in a live, online classroom setting—with an expert Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). You can ask all your questions and learn from the interactions with other students.
Each class has a strict maximum of 7 students. The instructor will give turns to each student to share their screen with the class and practice using various X-Plane features.
The other students are encouraged to follow along on their own simulators.
Note: This course is focused on the operation of the simulator, not techniques for actually flying the aircraft.
“Couldn’t be better. Excellent materials. I liked the attention to generalization versus getting lost in details.”
“This course was well done and covered useful topics needed to be comfortable with the software and flight controls. Everything I needed was covered. I feel well prepared as a beginner sim pilot.”
Each class is conducted in small-group format (max 7 per class) to ensure high-quality personal attention.
Classes will consist of tutorial, practical exercises which you can complete alongside the instructor, and ample opportunities to ask questions.
You can utilize the free 1-on-1 coaching session at any point when you would like to receive extra support or practice.
Software used: Each class will be conducted using Zoom as the primary method of communication and screen share.
A stable internet connection and a computer microphone are required. Webcam is not required.
You must have the latest version of X-Plane 12 installed.
This class will be taught by one or more members of our remote flight instructor team and/or additional guest instructors holding flight/ground instructor certificates.
They are flight simulation experts who will help you understand and absorb the knowledge to become a great sim pilot.
