What is the benefit of using the FAA approved FlitePro?

Jeppesen FlitePro (Flight Simulator) Software at Ace's Pilot...
Recent studies have shown that positive transfer of learning occurs when a PCATD is used as part of an overall training program. A University of Illinois study found that subjects who trained solely in PCATD's, completed instrument training 4 hours sooner than those who trained solely in airplanes. The FAA approved FlitePro excels at teaching instrument scanning procedures, situational awareness, and how to think ahead of the aircraft.

Are your courses "approved" by IATA or the FAA?

Eduwhere: FAQ
No. To our knowledge, neither the FAA nor IATA reviews or evaluates online training courses (and neither does the US DOT). In fact, the FAA will not evaluate any training courses of any kind from any provider (this includes online, classroom, computer-based, etc). IATA does, however, offer a designation called the IATA Endorsed Training School, and these endorsed training schools often advertise their courses as "IATA Approved". We are not an IATA Endorsed Training School.
