| 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 |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Airlines, flight training centers, military | Flight schools, private aviation, commercial airlines |
Both roles require FAA certification and involve pilot training, but Flight Simulator Instructors focus on simulator-based instruction in controlled environments, while Flight Instructors teach in actual aircraft. The choice depends on whether training occurs in simulators or real flight settings.
A flight simulator instructor provides instruction to a student training to become a pilot. Your main responsibilities revolve around teaching ground, simulator, and flight operations. Your duties include developing curriculum, providing lessons, reviewing and grading students, monitoring the condition of an aircraft and related equipment, and creating reports on your students. You cover aviation machinery, flying techniques, safety policies and procedures, and FAA regulations. You assist students throughout the course and answer questions to ensure their success. A flight simulator instructor may also help recruit new applicants to the program.
