AURORA, Illinois — The Glass Simulator Center has a new name: SIMPRO Flight Training.
Located on Aurora Municipal Airport (KARR), 35 miles west of Chicago, SIMPRO Flight Training center was recently remodeled with an updated pilot lounge and new classroom with the latest audio-visual equipment.
SIMPRO pilots arriving for training have access to discounts on fuel, hangar space, local lodging and meals, as well as complementary use of courtesy vehicles, according to company officials.
The training center operates five Frasca Flight Training Devices (FTD) that represent the Cessna Citation 500 (also supports 550, 560), King Air 200 (also supports models 90 through 350), Cirrus SR22, Single or Multi-Engine-Light Twin, and a Garmin G1000 procedures trainer.
SIMPRO’s training programs and devices are FAA and insurance industry approved and the training can be tailored to meet customer’s requirements, company officials note.
Arthur “Art” St. Arnaud remains as center manager and chief simulator instructor.
This is a great facility, with thorough training for many levels of flight. Art does a great job and in most cases is one on one with client. This makes the recurrent training focus more on the individual needs based on the aircraft that is being taught. It’s always a pleasure to spend a couple days with Art and Bradley. Highly recommended.
