Remote Flight Instructors for STEM Programs

"Ben was amazing. Although my iMac has limitations which prevent 100% performance with X-Plane, he found a method to give me the best results possible. I will be scheduling another appointment with Ben in the next few weeks to answer any questions which arise as I continue to use the X-Plane program and my Honeycomb hardware. I couldn't have been more pleased."

“He was a great help in adjusting my system to its maximum potential, and gave me a better understanding of simulation in general, and how to advance to a more robust system when the time comes. Thank you again for your help!”

"I had an Oral Exam Practice lesson with Alan, great instructor! Very knowledgable guy! Will definitely be meeting with him again!"

"I am really excited about being part of Flight Sim Coach. I am just getting back into flying and training after a 10-year hiatus. Flight Sim Coach is a game-changer.

I particularly appreciate Flight Sim Coach because when I flew a decade ago, it was really difficult to become an excellent pilot, because the only way to train was to rent a plane and hire an instructor. The problem that occurred was that it was very difficult and expensive to make that happen on a regular basis- not to mention the weather! The time, weather, and expense made it almost impossible to fly on a consistent basis. So much so, that the flying community said that unless you flew for the airlines or needed to fly for work, it was unrealistic to expect to become a proficient pilot.

Flight Sim Coach changes all that. I am able to have a world-class instructor like Alan Edwards train me in my house and fly on a consistent basis. I cannot tell you how this changes the landscape of being a private pilot. I am very fired up about this and look forward to becoming an excellent pilot. Thanks for starting your company."

"Your program is outstanding, Ben was very punctual, friendly, and easy to understand. He obviously knows how to program computers. I appreciate the time he took with me."

"Amazing instructor. Loved the session. Very clear and he was equipped with tools that facilitate teaching. Looking forward to our next lesson!"

"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."

"Absolutely fantastic and solved many of my challenges in the time we had allotted. Great value, very much appreciate it."

"During my PPL training, David has been coaching me using a similar set-up in the Sim as in real life. Having a real CFI along with the home simulator sessions has accelerated my learning i.e. handling of G1000, navigating, communicating in a big way. David has also helped me with the set-up of X-Plane and controls. I will continue to work with David along with my instrument rating course."

"Very in-depth work with G1000. Jesse went step by step and any questions were welcomed."

"Ben was able to get all of my custom ortho scenery packs working. I have a Mac M1 and it is a little more work for Ben but he fixed everything. He also showed me how to use WED [WorldEditor]. I am now able to build my own airports, neighborhoods, Helipads etc."

“Without Ben’s help, I could not even come close to using the full potential of the systems that were available to me. Looking forward to the challenging flights ahead.”

"In my first session with Mike, we used a sim flight from KDEN to KASE to go over the subtleties and challenges of flying a SID from a Class B to a challenging mountain airport using the G1000 flight planning and autopilot.

In addition to being a commercial pilot, Mike has an extensive knowledge of X-Plane. I learned a lot of new X-Plane tricks like speeding up the sim to bypass sections of the flight not relevant to the training goals, how to video tape and retrieve your flight with actual instrument readings from each moment of the flight, activating an approach vs. a leg, and the use of VNAV in departures and approaches. We also discussed how to best handle autopilot settings with ATC vectors that deviate from the SID.

Can't say enough about Mike's knowledge and teaching skills. It's like having a CFI on call for simmers, as well as those training for their PPL or Instrument Ratings. His fees are super reasonable. Serious simmers and pilots in training are fortunate to have this resource available!"

"Patrick is very knowledgeable and patient. He effectively communicates technical concepts in a way that they are understood. I have enjoyed working with him and look forward to continuing the journey."

"Ben was pleasant, efficient, and knowledgeable. He was able to resolve the issues I needed help with. Great experience. Thank you!"
