HOW THE FAA FEELS ABOUT SIMULATORS

"The use of flight simulators and flight training devices in lieu of aircraft has resulted in a reduction in air traffic congestion, noise and air pollution and training costs. The increased use of flight simulators is also consistent with the national policy for fuel conservation.

Flight simulators provide a safe flight-training environment. They may reduce the number of training accidents by allowing training for emergency situations, such as fire, total loss of thrust, and systems failures, that cannot be safely conducted in flight."¹
