Why Pilots Choose Simulator
Center Training
A type rating is one of the largest investments a pilot makes, and the training provider decides how confident you feel on day one of line operations. That is what Simulator Center Training is built around — real simulators, real airline instructors, and a straight answer about cost and schedule before you enroll.
Global Authority
Pilots come to us from across the US, Europe, India, and the wider ICAO world. We know the paperwork, the timelines, and the checkride standard on every one of those pathways.
Level D Simulation
Training happens in full-motion, full-flight simulators that replicate the flight deck exactly — the same devices airlines use for their own recurrent training.
Elite Instructors
Our instructors are current and former airline pilots and examiners. You learn the aircraft from people who have flown it in revenue service, not from a slide deck.
Streamlined Logistics
Scheduling, documentation, and check-ride coordination are handled for you, so international students are not left guessing about what happens next.
Trained For A Hiring Surge
Boeing's latest industry outlook projects up to 660,000 new pilots will be needed worldwide by 2044, and CAE's Aviation Talent Forecast puts commercial pilot demand at roughly 267,000 over the next decade alone. Airlines are hiring aggressively right now — the pilots who move first on a type rating are the ones ready when the seat opens.
One Program, Every Stage
Most pilots don't need just a type rating or just a conversion — they need a path from where they are now to an airline seat. Simulator Center Training runs ATP-CTP, type ratings, and license conversion under one roof, so your training doesn't stall waiting on a handoff between providers.
Who We Train
Simulator Center Training enrolls pilots from the United States and from every major licensing authority abroad.
How Training
Works At Simulator Center
Every program follows the same four phases, whether you are here for ATP-CTP, a full type rating, or simulator time. Here is what to expect from enrollment through checkride.
Step 1: Strategic Enrollment
We review your license, total time, and career goal, then confirm which program you are eligible for — ATP-CTP, a specific type rating, simulator time, or an FAA license conversion. You get the requirements and the schedule in writing before you commit.
Step 2: Systems Mastery
Ground school covers aircraft systems, limitations, performance, and the operating procedures your checkride will be flown to. This is the phase that determines how comfortable the simulator sessions feel.
Step 3: Level D Evaluation
Full-flight simulator sessions build from normal operations into abnormal and emergency procedures, engine-out work, and low-visibility approaches, flown to airline standard.
Step 4: Final Qualification
The checkride is conducted in the simulator with a designated examiner. On completion, the rating is added to your FAA certificate and you leave qualified on type.
Training Pilots To Airline Standard
Pilots come to Simulator Center Training to earn the qualification an airline is actually hiring for. Every course is flown in full-flight simulators and taught by instructors who have operated the type in revenue service.
Built Around The Checkride
Ground school, simulator sessions, and examiner scheduling are coordinated as one program, so nothing stalls between phases. International students get help with documentation and TSA processing before they travel.
