IT support for flight schools and training operators.
Simulators, instructor stations, scheduling software and an office network, all of it needing to work when the student shows up.
Three things we set up first.
Simulator IT and support
Hardware and software support for training devices, including Precision Flight Controls units, on site anywhere in the country.
Scheduling and records
The systems that book the aircraft and track the training, kept running and backed up.
One phone call
The office IT and the simulators under one plan, which is how it started for one of our longest-standing clients.
What it looks like in practice
This is where Inflight Technology started. A flight school is an office, a classroom, a scheduling and records system and a room full of simulators, and the simulators are specialized computers with control loaders, visual systems and instructor stations attached. We support all of it under one plan: the office network and Microsoft 365, the systems that book aircraft and track training, and the devices themselves, including Precision Flight Controls units, on site anywhere in the country. One phone call for a down sim or a down printer. We also build training software, so when the records system needs something the vendor will not add, we can.
What flight schools and training operators get.

Questions from flight schools and training operators
Which simulators do you support?
Fixed-base and full-motion devices from basic trainers through FAA-approved AATDs and FTDs, including Precision Flight Controls devices. See flight simulator repair for plans and pricing.
Is this only for schools in New Jersey?
Office IT is Central New Jersey. Simulator service, repair and relocation is nationwide, and several of our training clients are out of state.
Can you fix a simulator remotely?
Most software, configuration and instructor-station problems are resolved by phone and screen share the same day. Hardware gets a visit.
Do you support corporate training centers as well as Part 61 and 141 schools?
Yes. Type-specific recurrent training operators have the same needs with more scrutiny on records, and we support both.
Tell us about your school.
Thirty minutes. What you do, how many people, what has been going wrong. We tell you what we would charge and what it would include.
