What Can Be Logged?
Beyond the Logbook
While the FAA regulations define specific caps on hours that can be logged toward a certificate or rating, the value of simulation training extends far beyond the logbook. Jaybird Sim Center provides a ‘safe-to-fail’ environment where you can master complex maneuvers, emergency procedures, and cockpit flows without the pressure of a ticking Hobbs meter.
Use your solo hours to build deep muscle memory and situational awareness, then bring a CFI to officially log the hours required for your next checkride. Whether you are maximizing your Part61/141 allowances or simply refining your general airmanship, our simulators ensure that every hour you spend in the air is used for execution, not just explanation.
Unparalleled Training.
Using a flight simulator with a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) provides real-time guidance, feedback, and tailored training that accelerates learning and ensures correct technique. The instructor can immediately correct mistakes, answer questions, and adapt scenarios to focus on specific skills or maneuvers. This structured approach builds confidence and reinforces safe flying habits.
Flying solo on the simulator offers flexibility and the freedom to practice at any time without scheduling constraints. It allows pilots to explore and repeat procedures at their own pace, hone muscle memory, and experiment with emergency scenarios in a low-pressure environment. This self-directed training complements formal instruction, helping to solidify skills and increase overall proficiency.
At Jaybird Sim Center, we are committed to delivering exceptional training opportunities at an affordable price. To support this, we offer members the flexibility to use our flight simulators independently, without the need for an instructor on-site. For those seeking professional guidance, we have established a robust network of Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) ready to assist. Additionally, you’re welcome to bring your own CFI to ensure a personalized and efficient training experience. Our goal is to empower pilots at every level with the resources and freedom to enhance their skills on their terms.
