The VX1C flight simulator features PilotEdge, a live air traffic control (ATC) service utilized by professionals to emulate real in-flight communications between the tower and pilots flying. VX Members have the option to communicate with real air traffic controllers to enhance the quality of their experience.
PilotEdge Features
Flight-Instruction
It is relatively common for student pilots to be apprehensive to the thought of talking to ATC. PilotEdge allows members of all experience levels to demystify the process and hone their skills.
IFR Training
Learning to fly under instrument flight rules (IFR) and without visual reference to the ground can be a challenge. By talking to real ATC in a low-stakes environment such as the simulator, members can prepare for the procedures of IFR Flight.
Savings
Ultra realistic simulator training is a great way to hone your skills as a pilot in a controlled environment. Real weather won't prevent you from gaining great experiences. Be prepared for anything!
Fully Immersive
Practice ATC communications with PilotEdge
Use live, human-provided simulated air traffic control while flying our C172S NAV III simulator. Practice radio calls, clearances and readbacks alongside your cockpit procedures.
Build confidence on the radio
Become more comfortable speaking to controllers. Rehearse VFR and IFR communications and manage your workload in a controlled simulator environment.
Train with a purpose
Bring your instructor and choose a scenario around your goals. Coordinate flying, navigation and radio work, then debrief what went well and what to practice next.
A shared simulation network
PilotEdge connects simulator pilots and controllers in supported virtual airspace, during its published operating hours.
