The Application
Create a 30–60 second video making your case for why you should receive the scholarship.
Do your homework. Research the applicable FAR/AIM regulations and FAA guidance regarding the use of approved simulation during instrument training, and tell us:
What the regulations allow.
How those provisions apply to your instrument training.
How you would incorporate 25 hours in the Redbird FMX into your training plan.
Why access to this resource would make a meaningful difference in reaching your instrument-rating goals.
Where you take it from there is up to you.
We aren't looking for a professionally produced video or the applicant with the most followers. We're looking for a serious student who understands the opportunity, has done the research, and can make a strong case for how they would use it.
Post your 30–60 second video, tag DC Flight Simulation, and make sure the post is public/shareable so we can feature submissions on our social feeds.

Do the homework. Make your case.

Not every student pilot earns a certificate.
The difference often isn't talent—it's consistency.
The students who finish tend to stay engaged, practice between lessons, and build confidence before every flight.
A simulator isn't a replacement for the airplane. It's another tool that allows students to rehearse procedures, make mistakes without consequences, and show up better prepared when the engine starts.
If you're working toward your Private Pilot Certificate, adding simulator sessions to your training can help you maintain momentum while getting more value from every hour in the aircraft.
At DC Flight Simulation, we're here to help students finish what they started.

Add a full-motion Redbird FMX to your instruction through the DC Flight Simulation CFI Membership.
• Member-only simulator pricing
• 2.5 hours of simulator credit at sign-up
• Teach your own students in a professional training environment
• Limited memberships available
Train smarter. Teach better. Grow your business.

A missed approach isn't a failure.
It's a reminder that every flight is an opportunity to learn.
The question is: where do you want to learn it?
In an aircraft that's burning fuel by the minute?
Or in a full-motion simulator where you can reset, try again, and refine every decision?
Every great pilot has gone missed.
The best ones prepare for it before they're ever in the clouds.
Practice with purpose. Fly with confidence.

Flying isn't just about time in the air.
It's about the quiet moments beforehand—the planning, the learning, and the discipline that build confidence before every takeoff.
That's what we're here for.
Every great flight begins before the engine starts.

Staying IFR current doesn't have to depend on weather, aircraft availability, or fuel prices.
