Not at this time. My flying job keeps me away for periods of time that are not conducive to primary flight training. A private or recreational student must fly on a regular basis to progress. While gaps in training can and do occur, they are not ideal on an ongoing basis. I specialize in instrument currency & proficiency checks, and advanced training... the latter to utilize the tremendous cost savings offered by AATD use.
A Hobbs meter is a type of clock or time meter found in most aircraft. It is used to count the time used by the customer during flight instruction in tenths of an hour. They may be set up several ways, but most are only running when the engine is running. An AATD hobbs is running when the aircraft is powered. You may have an hour and a half flight lesson including ground school, but the Hobbs only ran an hour while the aircraft engine was running, or power was on. Most flight school aircraft work this way. In some cases we simply use a stop-watch to record the time.
An Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) is a training device authorized by the FAA for flight training. This training can be logged and counted toward the aeronautical experience required for most ratings and certificates. It must meet very specific requirements, such as largely resembling the class of aircraft to be simulated. It’s not a full motion simulator but resembles a real aircraft enough to be able to perform typical procedures. They are much less expensive to fly than the real airplane.
Absolutely! You can "fly" it as much as you want to! All the learning counts! Only the flight time in excess of the FAA maximum won’t count towards certificates and ratings.
A simulator has to meet certain motion and visual requirements for realism, while representing the actual type of aircraft, rather than just the class. Simulators also have a motion platform. An AATD is generally static.
