Learn about FAA Certification

Trying to decide which level of certification is right for you? Click on the pictures below to learn more about each level of certification and compare to find which one is right for your facility.
*It is important to note that many simulators may contain specific features or abilities not explicitly stated in their level of certification. Every simulator, especially custom built designs, are able to be customized in order to fit any facility needs even if a desired level of certification does not necessarily require it. Any ambiguities with respect to the capabilities of the simulator are finalized in the sales contract and technical specifications document prior to the simulator deal closing.
