How simulator checkout works
Choose an open time
Only instructor-approved 30-minute slots are shown. A slot disappears once it has been reserved.
Complete orientation first
If you have not completed orientation, the system will reserve your selected time as an Orientation session.
Choose your session
After orientation, choose a 30-minute Free Flight slot or one of the instructor-scheduled guided sessions.

Paper Flight Record
Student Flight Logs
Keep a paper record of Orientation and every instructor-led lesson. Bring your flight log to each session so the instructor can initial completed maneuvers and record your next step.
First-Use Checklist
Record simulator setup, cockpit familiarization, basic aircraft control, and approval for future simulator use.
Lesson Flight Records
Each lesson has a matching aviation-style log sheet with maneuver checks, instructor initials, flight summary, and debrief.
Keep the Packet
Store completed pages together as your Academy flight-training record. Replacement packets can be printed by your instructor.
Student Reservations
Reserve Your 30-Minute Slot
Enter your information in the reservation window below. First-time users are automatically assigned Orientation. Returning users may choose Free Flight or an available Instructor-Led Session.
Reservation system setup in progress
The simulator reservation page is ready, but the Google Workspace reservation app still needs to be connected by the instructor.
Use your reservation responsibly
Reserve only times you can attend. If you cannot attend, cancel the reservation so another student can use the simulator. Simulator access may be limited or suspended for repeated missed reservations or failure to follow simulator procedures.
