Recency Simulator Price Comparison
Price Comparison of Flight Simulators for Pilots Looking to Maintain Recency
Many aspects of piloting, such as the application of SOPs and the use of non-technical skills, such as maintaining a high level of capacity and situational awareness are perishable and require regular practice to help keep them at a high level. If you’ve found yourself out of flying work, or perhaps you’ve finished flight school and are looking to stay current whilst finding a piloting job, it’s important to keep your skills fresh and maintain some flying recency.
To support pilots wishing to maintain some exposure to the operating environment and practice CRM, manual flying and SOP application, we’ve compiled a list of companies who are offering use of their simulators for recency/currency purposes.
The prices were correct at the time of writing but may since have been updated. Any enquiries regarding the service offered should be directed at the company in question.
