About Flight Level Aviation, Inc.
See http://www.flyimc.com for details
In a nutshell, Flight Level Aviation, Inc. provides custom, initial and advanced instrument training for single-engine and multi-engine piston airplane pilots. Training can be provided in any combination of a student’s airplane, Flight Level Aviation’s Cessna P210, and/or Flight Level Aviation’s full-motion advanced avionics simulator. Custom recurrent training programs are available for any single-engine or multi-engine piston IFR pilot. Flight Level Aviation’s training programs are approved by most insurance underwriters as equivalent to recurrent training from the larger simulator-based training companies; however, Flight Level Aviation has a unique mission/philosophy which includes:
- Custom Training – All training programs include a combination of ground instruction, simulator instruction, and flight time in any combination per the needs of a particular student. Rather than adhering to a rigid classroom/simulator schedule, our instructors are glad to adjust the training schedule to take advantage of weather opportunities or particular student interests.
- Actual IMC Training – Weather-permitting our instructors encourage training flights in actual IMC weather to gain practical experience in the system. Flight Level Aviation's location in Southwest Pennsylvania is ideal for instrument training since training can be provided in all 4 seasons and also in terrain varying from the flatlands of Southern Ohio to the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Training is available in a student’s airplane or in Flight Level Aviation’s well-equipped Cessna P210.
- Combined Simulator and Aircraft Training – Flight Level Aviation uses a full-motion advanced avionics simulator to complement flight training. The simulator is also available for solo proficiency practice at the completion of training or for future instrument currency practice. The combination of in-flight and simulator training provides the “best of both worlds” advantage to safely practice and/or simulate as many emergency scenarios as possible.
- Significant hands-on flight practice -- Whereas other, major simulator schools may offer only 2-3 hours of simulator or flight instruction per day plus pre-programmed videos or lectures, our instructors set up a custom training scenario up to 10 hours per day made up of of a student's choice of flight time, simulator time, and/or ground time. Ground time is always spent personally with Richard or our instructors on topics relevant to your experience level and aviation missions.

Richard:
I own a 1963 210-5A (205A) Cessna. I am curious about your sims capab ilities. My plane is a fixed gear 210 from the pre-laminar flow era. The only difference between my plane and a 1965 210 is fixed gear. Can your sim do the early 210s with struts? I would love to be able to train in a sim for my plane and "experience" various emergencies. I am a 200 hour private pilot with an instrument rating. I love training. Its why I fly.

Hi Jim.
If we set up the sim for the normally aspirated flight model and keep the gear down then the airspeeds will be very close to those for your plane and certainly realistic enough for IFR recurrent training purposes.
Let me know if I can be of any further help.
