| Aspect | Flight Simulator Instructor | Flight Instructor |
|---|---|---|
| Required Certifications | FAA Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), simulator training certification | FAA Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), pilot license |
| Work Environment | Flight simulators, training centers, aviation academies | Aircraft, flight schools, training aircraft |
