Peripherals

How does it work?

We started with X-Plane (sold separately here), the world’s most comprehensive, powerful, and realistic flight simulator for personal computers.

We then developed our own proprietary software, which integrates with X-Plane. This software is made up of two main components:

  1. Course Launcher – This is your entry point into the X-Plane Flight Training Course. In addition to being used for loading flight lessons and viewing flight history, the Launcher gives you access to several hours of detailed training videos, produced exclusively for the X-Plane Flight Training Course.
  2. Flight Profiler – This runs inside X-Plane at all times. To put it simply, the Profiler is like a digital flight instructor. It tells you what to do, monitors you as you are doing it, and gives you feedback on every move you make.

All 27 lessons from our Private Pilot Syllabus book have been programmed into the course and can be flown as many times as you want. For best results, we recommend you fly through the entire course at least once before beginning your actual flight training. Then, when you finally get into the real airplane, there will be no surprises and your training will feel like a formality.

An airplane is not always the most efficient classroom – it can be noisy, complicated, overwhelming, and expensive. Modern technology allows for better instructional techniques. The Gleim X-Plane Flight Training Course brings the classroom back down to the ground, where it should be. Embrace this course, and you will soon be a safe, competent, and confident pilot.
