AST Hawk - Flight Training Device

This is one of the best flight training devices in Georgia! Our AST Hawk is invaluable as a ground trainer for pilots pursuing instrument or commercial ratings. Pilots may use the Hawk to log 20 hours of training in simulated instrument conditions toward their instrument ratings and 50 hours toward their commercial certificates! This represents a considerable cost savings toward these ratings/certificates.

In the ground trainer, you can:

• fly engine out procedures that are too dangerous to do in the airplane: V1 cuts, Single engine missed approaches, etc
• pause the flight anywhere, anytime to discuss the flight with your instructor
• fly procedures not local to the area
• master multi-engine procedures without costly rental fees for multi-engine aircraft
• gain familiarity with procedures you're planning to fly on upcoming cross country flights

The ground trainer is a fantastic learning environment!!

• Convertible from single-engine to multi-engine in less than 2 minutes.
