What it feels like
The experience compresses training into a controlled cockpit: under an instructor’s direction, a student or pilot steps into a Gleim simulator and runs procedures, practices approaches or emergency flows, and refines judgement without the variables of live flight. Sessions are offered with the fidelity and approvals that make the work directly applicable to real‑world flying.
