SOLO GA

Description

Unlimited at-home training

With the Virtual Fly SOLO GA you get a flight panel on which you can train without a limit, regardless of the time or the weather conditions.

Flight Training takes a lot of hard work: a lot of studying, practicing, procedures (dry) practicing, etc. When you finally start flying and put into practice what you have learned, you want to be well-prepared. It is unfortunate when that does not quite come out, or when you could have gotten more out of the time with the instructor. That is where Flight Simulator comes in.

You can choose to ‘pre-flight’ your flight before a thorough flight to prepare yourself, or to practice specific elements that did not go so well during previous flights. You can do this at home, at your desk, at a time that suits you.

For the price of approximately sixteen flying lessons, you can buy the Virtual Fly SOLO GA. This Panel is developed by Virtual Fly, that also produces (full motion) simulators for flying schools and training centers. With the Solo Flight Panel, you get five simulated aircraft (C172, C182RG, M20J, B58, King Air 200) or you can use the generic panel for single or multi-engine piston and turboprop.
