The FITS Syllabus is a guide developed for creating specific training curricula based on FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS). It emphasizes real-world scenarios to enhance pilots' decision-making skills while maintaining competency-based training, allowing pilots to progress at their own pace regardless of flight hours. The syllabus is adaptable to various FAA regulations and requires acceptance for the use of the FITS logo in related materials

Flight instructors are the backbone of aviation safety and training. With the evolution of flight simulation technology, instructors now have powerful tools at their disposal to enhance the quality, efficiency, and safety of primary flight training. This document outlines how flight simulators, when thoughtfully integrated, can amplify your teaching effectiveness, reduce student attrition, and elevate the training experience for both instructor and student.

Flight simulators are powerful tools for pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike. They provide a safe and cost-effective environment to practice procedures, refine flying skills, and prepare for real-world scenarios. However, despite their benefits, users often develop habits in the simulator that can hinder real-world performance. This article outlines the most common mistakes pilots make during sim sessions and provides actionable strategies to overcome them.
