Any columns that reference flight time should remain blank when logging ATD time. Authorized instructors utilizing an FAA-approved ATD for airmen training, pilot time, and experience requirements are required to log the time as dual instruction and as basic aviation training device (BATD) or advanced aviation training device (AATD) time appropriately. That appendix also clarifies how pilots and CFI should log time when using ATDs. This AC also provides information and guidance for those persons who intend to use a BATD or AATD for activities involving pilot training and experience, other than for practical tests, aircraft-type-specific training, or an aircraft type rating.įor most pilots, flight schools, and flight instructors, the most relevant section is Appendix D, Training Content and Logging Provisions, which includes a syllabus for integrated training using ATDs. This AC provides information and guidance for Aviation Training Device (ATD) manufacturers seeking Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval of a basic aviation training device (BATD) or advanced aviation training device (AATD)… The Foundation from one-G, an AATD based on the C172, is among the newest FAA-approved ATDs. See also New IFR Currency Rules and Other Changes to 14 CFR Part 61. I wrote about the earlier update to this AC in 2013, here. Author bruceair Posted on AugCategories Aviation Tags connecting FS2020 to ForeFlight, flight simulation, ForeFlight, FS2020 Leave a comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and ForeFlight New AC for ATDsįAA has published AC 61-136B, FAA Approval of Aviation Training Devices and Their Use for Training and Experience, an update to the previous edition of the advisory circular. My tests so far indicate the utility works well, although I did notice that my virtual airplane made occasional jumps into hyperspace before returning to the correct place on the ForeFlight map.įor my initial assessment of using FS2020 to complement flight training and proficiency, see Flight Simulator 2020: First Impressions. I have not tested the utility with other EFB apps such as Garmin Pilot.
The process involves using a small utility called Flight Events Client, ensuring that both your iPad and the computer running FS2020 are on the same wifi network, and selecting Flight Events Client as a device in ForeFlight.
(You can also find details about using iPads with other PC-based simulations and some ATDs at iPad Pilot News here.) Sporty’s iPad Pilot News has a helpful article about how t o connect the new FS2020 to ForeFlight.
