First Flight School In OK To Offer Full-Motion Sims For
Students
Destinations Executive Flight Center was the first flight school
in Oklahoma to offer full-motion simulators for its clients.
Now Destinations Executive Flight Center is the first and
only Cirrus Simulator Center in the state. "It makes perfect sense
for Destinations to be affiliated with Cirrus Aircraft. Both
companies are committed to safety, ongoing training, and the latest
technology" said Mike Barnes, one of the owners of
Destinations.
Cirrus is a leading manufacturer of small general aviation
aircraft with a focus on safety. Cirrus aircraft are equipped
with safety features such as traffic alerts, terrain awareness,
airbag seatbelts, anti-icing, and even a whole aircraft parachute
that lowers the plane safely to the ground in the event of an
engine failure.
DestinationsEFC says its focus is safety and proficiency
training. "We believe that our product offering is unique with a
combination of flight training, simulator training, tailwheel
training, ground schools, and FAA sponsored safety seminars," says
David Koehn co-owner of the training center. Destinations employs
two Redbird Simulators (AATDs) that are FAA-Approved, Three Axis,
Full-Motion sims with 180° plus wrap around vision. "The
Sims are outstanding and a major factor in choosing Destinations
for my transition training." Steve McFarlin USMCR/Harrier
pilot and Cirrus owner.
The combination of Full-Motion sims, knowledgable Cirrus trained
instructors (CSIPs), and in-aircraft training provide the most
comprehensive safety training available for Cirrus owners.
Destinations also offers sim training in Garmin and Avidyne
glass cockpits as well as various Cessna, Beechcraft, and Piper
aircraft.
