FAA Certificated
Flight Simulation
Serious Training Equipment
You don’t (always) need an airplane to learn how to fly or to pursue a new aeronautical rating. Anyone can train here on an FAA Certificated Flight Simulator. In many cases, you can credit the time in your logbook toward in-air flight requirements – and do it at a fraction of the cost of airplane rental!
NO FLIGHT SCHOOL “ENROLLMENT” REQUIRED!
RESERVE A SPOT, FLY YOUR MISSION(S) AND PAY FOR THE TIME!
What Makes Us Your Best Choice
Why Train With Us
Whether you are a certificated pilot who wants to log approaches for instrument currency, a CFI looking for a place to teach, or someone looking for her first experience in aviation, we invite you to rent time on one of our FAA certificated flight simulators.
Anybody can fly here, whether or not you have a pilot certificate! Ours is a particularly valuable resource for independent CFIs. Aerial Engagement is open and available to any instructor who desires to use our simulators for teaching. We can offer steam gauge or glass cockpits (Garmin G1000 NXi) in our sims. CFIs can teach from an instructor operating station and communicate through real aviation headsets, or alongside students in the same room as the simulator. This is a public resource, designed with the general aviation pilot and independent CFI in mind!
We are a professional flight simulation venue, open to the public. Perfect for for students, flight instructors and proficient pilots alike.
Our Simulators
Aerial Engagement provides access to advanced flight simulators that accurately replicate aircraft operation and behavior. These simulators are so realistic that pilots can add flight hours to their record without leaving the ground, a technology that has been used since the early days of aviation. Aerial Engagement specifically serves pilots in the Greater Phoenix Area.

“What a great idea! The Valley has needed a place for a long time where independent CFI’s and pilots can come to use simulators, without being connected to a flight school.”
Ryan
Title: Independent CFI
“I think you have really got something here that the independent CFI and certificated pilots are going to find very helpful and economical.”
Bob
Title: Independent CFI
“I have been very successful using simulators to do instrument training with my students. A DPE recently told me that my student who was trained by me on a simulator with a glass cockpit was the best-prepared instrument candidate he had ever had.”
Jeremy
Title: Independent CFI
“The entire experience at Aerial Engagement helped me a lot. So much of the IFR rating requires a strong understanding of the Garmin G 1000 NXi system and they offered a really efficient, cost-effective way to do that.”
Ben Steuri
Title: Flight Student
“There are very few places around here where we can shoot an ILS. At Aerial Engagement, we can complete four or five IFR approaches in under an hour!”
Katie Stumbo
Title: CFI
“You never know how long it will take to become proficient at a new skill. At Aerial Engagement, the Unlimited Flight Club meant I didn’t have to worry whether I would be ready for my checkride before I ran out of money!”
