Required CertificationsFlight simulation certifications, possibly FAA or equivalentCommercial pilot license, Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)
Work EnvironmentFlight simulators, training centers, or airline training facilitiesAircraft, flight schools, or training aircraft
Employer & Industry UsageAirlines, flight training centers, simulation providersFlight schools, airlines, private training

While both roles involve flight training, Commission Flight Simulation focuses on providing simulated flight experiences for training or assessment, often requiring specialized simulation certifications. Flight Instructors teach actual pilots in real aircraft, requiring a commercial pilot license and CFI certification. The key difference lies in the environment and certifications, with simulation roles emphasizing virtual training and instructor roles involving hands-on flight instruction.
