A New Training Tool at SkyTrek Aviation – ELITE PI-235 Installed at KTIX

There is something special about seeing a new simulator come to life at a flight school. This week ELITE had the pleasure of completing the installation of an ELITE PI-235 Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) at SkyTrek Aviation located at Space Coast Regional Airport (KTIX) in Titusville, Florida.
The PI-235 is designed to bring professional-level training into a compact and highly capable platform. With its modern avionics simulation, precise flight modeling, and immersive training environment, the device will allow students and instructors at SkyTrek to practice procedures, instrument work, and complex flight scenarios in a safe and controlled environment.
What makes installations like this truly rewarding is knowing that the simulator will soon be used by the next generation of aviators. Students beginning their journey into aviation will sit in this device to practice everything from their first instrument approaches to advanced decision-making scenarios. Simulators like the PI-235 help build confidence, sharpen skills, and prepare pilots long before they step into the actual aircraft.
A special thank you goes to Oscar and the team at SkyTrek Aviation for placing their trust in ELITE. Partnerships like this are what continue to push aviation training forward, and we are honored to support their mission of developing skilled and capable pilots.
At ELITE Simulation Solutions, we remain committed to delivering the tools flight schools rely on every day. For decades, ELITE has been recognized as the #1 brand in AATD simulation devices, helping schools, universities, and training centers around the world prepare pilots for real-world flying.
We look forward to seeing the PI-235 at SkyTrek Aviation play a role in shaping many successful aviation careers in the years ahead.
