Frequently Asked Questions - Indianapolis AATD
What is an AATD?

Do you take primary students?
An Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) is a "simulator" of sorts, 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. AATD time is NOT flight time! It does however count toward the aeronautical experience hours you are required to have for a particular rating or certificate. Read the AATD regulations below.

Do you take primary students?
No. I am no longer doing flight training in airplanes or helicopters, thus not doing any of the required FAA endorsements for check rides. I specialize in instrument currency & proficiency training in my AATD and conduct powered paraglider trike training and transitions. I am available for ground school consultations at all levels.
What is Hobbs time?
Do you take primary students?
Can I use the AATD for more than the maximum FAA allowed credit for each rating or certificate?
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.

Can I use the AATD for more than the maximum FAA allowed credit for each rating or certificate?
Absolutely! You can "fly" it as much as you want to! All the learning counts! Only the Aeronautical Experience in excess of the FAA maximum won’t count towards certificates and ratings.
What is the difference between a full simulator and an AATD?

What is the difference between a full simulator and an AATD?
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 but they may have motion.
