The Smartest Investment You’ll Make in Your Flight Training
As a private pilot who has gone through the training grind, I know how exhausting — and expensive — the journey can be. Flight training isn’t just hard on your time; it’s brutal on your wallet. Between instructor availability, weather delays, and endless hours reviewing the same basic maneuvers, the cost adds up quickly.
But here’s a secret most instructors won’t tell you: the best way to reduce those costs is to train smarter before you even step in the cockpit.
"Chair Flying" is Out — VR is In
Forget the old-school techniques. Today’s Virtual Reality (VR) flight simulators offer a stunningly realistic and immersive way to reinforce procedures, build muscle memory, and improve your radio skills — all from your own home. The only problem? VR technology changes almost weekly. There’s no reliable YouTube series or book that can keep up with the rapid pace of gear updates, software releases, and configuration options. That’s where I come in.
What I Offer
You’ve got two options:
- Option A: I can build a fully functional VR flight simulator for you. It’ll work, but it won’t be cheap — the hardware, my time, and setup all add up.
- Option B (Recommended): For a nominal fee of just $40–$50, I’ll personally walk you through the process of building your own VR sim at home. You’ll save hundreds — if not thousands — in the long run. One session, and you’ll know exactly what to buy, how to configure it, and how to keep it running.

Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?
Because flight instructors won’t tell you about it. They’re trying to build flight hours to reach their 1,500-hour airline minimums. Helping you get better on your own time — for free — isn’t in their interest. They earn hours when you spend time with them in the air, even if it’s to do things you could have practiced dozens of times in VR.
I’m here to change that dynamic.
Why Trust Me?
I’ve been where you are. I’m a licensed private pilot who’s spent countless hours in both traditional training and home sim setups. I’ve built and rebuilt my VR systems through trial and error, and I know what works and what’s a waste of money. With just one hour of my guidance, you’ll avoid all the rookie mistakes, wasted hardware, and frustrating setups — and come out with a working simulator that will pay for itself before your next checkride.
Final Thoughts
A home VR flight simulator isn’t a toy — it’s a training tool. It’s the smartest investment you can make in your aviation journey. And the best part? You can build it yourself — with the right help. Save your money for fuel, rental time, and actual flight hours. Let me help you build the training platform that instructors don’t want you to have.
