In today's flight training environment, aircraft simulators are a vital part of the learning experience. Simulators are not used just to reduce the cost of training, but are highly effective in teaching procedural items and replicating emergencies.

With aircraft simulators, you may practice for emergencies to risky to simulate in actual flight. In addition, simulators add realism to your flight training. Don't just cover up the gyros and fly partial panel... but watch as the gyros slowly drift as they slow down, rolling upside down or tumbling.

For procedural training you may progress step-by-step, learning how to do things correctly the first time without the rushed hurriedness of actually being in the aircraft. If you make an error, pause the simulator and let the instructor help you learn from your mistakes. Don't practice imperfection, but practice procedures the correct way from the start. Practice doesn't make perfect, but perfect practice makes perfect.
