2 Sims, Unlimited Possibilities
Holladay Aviation offers two simulators for training: a PC-based installation of X-Plane 12 with SayIntentions AI ATC and the Elite PI-235 Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) with Pilot Edge ATC. Together, these devices offer a wide range of flight training options for aviation enthusiasts, flight students and pilots of all experience levels. Both devices may be used either at our office at Craig Airport, or transported to your location using our Mobile Flight Simulator.
What is the Mobile Flight Simulator?
The Mobile Flight Simulator is a unique flight training platform offered by Holladay Aviation. We’ve created a comfortable, modern office pod inside a custom built 16-foot cargo trailer that can be transported to any location, making quality, affordable flight training accessible to customers throughout Northeast Florida and beyond.
Why put a flight simulator in a trailer?
- Convenience — We bring the flight training to you! Anywhere within ~100 miles of Jacksonville.
- Accessibility — Allows any pilot to benefit from simulator training, even if their flight school or home airport doesn’t offer it.
- Affordability — Saves the customer time and money!
How can I benefit from using a flight simulator?
It’s often been said that the airplane is a horrible classroom: it’s noisy, busy, and requires constant attention. With a flight simulator, students can minimize distractions and focus on learning. Flight simulators cost a lot less to own and operate than real airplanes, so they are a very affordable learning platform. You can use our simulators at our location or yours to:
- Take an introductory flight lesson with one of our experienced instructors
- Learn the basic flight maneuvers required to earn a Sport or Private Pilot Certificate
- Log up to 20 hours of simulated instrument experience toward an Instrument Rating
- Maintain instrument currency per FAR 61.57(c) or complete most of an IPC
- Log up to 50 hours of flight training toward a Commercial Pilot Certificate
- Practice radio communications with other pilots and air traffic controllers using specially designed AI software
- Practice emergency procedures
- Overcome your fear of flying on commercial airliners
- Learn to safely fly a single seat ultralight airplane
- Explore a new or exotic destination from the air
- Take a virtual Discovery Flight
- And so much more!
