The DCX-MAX Motion Simulator

The DCX-MAX is our FAA-approved 6-degree motion simulator. It can quickly be configured to simulate more than three dozen general aviation aircraft.   A realistic, fully tactile panel is available. (No mouse clicks or touchscreens. You press real buttons and twist real knobs.)

The DCX MAX from Precision Flight Controls is the newest AATD cockpit system flight simulator on the market. The functionality rivals most flight training devices and full flight simulators. The system boasts an impressive list of standard and optional features that make it the most advanced trainer in its class. The DCX MAX represents the ultimate value for flight schools or universities that require maximum versatility, functionality and fidelity within a budget. The DCX MAX is deployed on six continents and is fast becoming one of the most popular cockpit AATD systems in the world.

Get Better Faster – and More Affordably.

An hour of simulated training is three times more effective than flight time. Why? Because you spend more of your time actually training – with the ability to pause, learn and repeat. You also save on aircraft training time, fuel, and other expenses.

Aircraft Training Requires:

Simulator Training Offers:

A safety pilot

Train solo, bring your own instructor, or use one of ours

Fueling time & expense

Skip aircraft related time and expenses and start training the moment you release our parking brakes

Pre-flight time

Instrument Proficiency Checks
(One Circle to Land must be done in your aircraft)

Post-flight time

Simulate an unplanned flight into IMC from VFR

Taxi time

Talk with virtual live ATC to regain your communication skills

ATC runway delays

Brush up on VFR navigation skills

Climb out time

Choose your airspace – and skew between locations instantly

Tie down time

Plan your flight and practice landing at unfamiliar airports

Maintenance time & expense

Ask us to fail a component or two for emergency procedures review

Weather!

No weather delays!
(And enjoy a climate-controlled environment.)

Possibly a lengthy commute

Most importantly, the ability to hit pause and safely discuss issues with your instructor

Advantages of Sim Training

Save Time by Eliminating:


  • Fueling time
  • Pre-flight
  • Post-flight
  • Taxi time
  • ATC runway delays
  • Climb out time
  • Tie down time
  • Weather delays
  • Possibly a lengthy commute


Save Money by Avoiding:



  • Fuel costs
  • Aircraft expenses 
  • Safety pilot fees


Train Well:


  • Train solo, bring your own instructor, or use one of ours. 
  • Start training the moment you release our parking brakes
  • Brush up your skills and/or learn new ones
  • Talk with Live ATC to get back in the communication groove
  • Simulate an unplanned flight into IMC from VFR
  • Ask us to fail a component or two for emergency procedures review
  • Choose your airspace – and skew between locations instantly
  • Practice landing at unfamiliar airports
  • Work on ratings and certificates in our courses
  • Get the repetition you need to achieve elevate your skillset
  • Hit the pause button and learn!

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

It is absolutely necessary to conduct flights in IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) to gain practical experience. The combination of simulation flight and practical flight produces better and safer pilots.

Who Uses Simulator Training?

General aviation pilots who want to: 


  • Increase proficiency
  • Refresh their skills
  • Get familiar with a particular aircraft (see list)
  • Achieve  IFR rating  more efficiently
  • Prepare for IPC & Flight Reviews 
  • Get spatial disorientation training in total safety
  • Avionics training - from beginner to advanced
  • Get familiar with a specific airport or airspace 
  • Be capable & confident, not just current. 


"The DCX MAX is a really great flight sim! In analog Cessna 172 mode, it behaved very well - the controls felt like the real airplane, the OBS knobs worked like they should, and the sight picture looked really good too. Flying it with Simulation Flight was way better than other sims I've flown."
