From your analysis, it sure sounds like it! Just imagine; you could actually recoup the costs involved in putting all that together by renting it out for a few hours a week.

Now let see I have Saitek products:
BATD must have physical controls for the:
master switch, Yes
mags, Yes
alternator, Yes
fuel pumps, Yes
avionics master, Yes
pitot heat Yes
exterior lights Yes
It has to have physical controls that include:
self-centering yoke/stick Yes (Have both Yoke and Stick)
rudders Yes
throttle, mixture, prop Yes to each.
So if I lived in the USA do I have a BATD?

Basic/Advanced Aviation Training Devices -- Simulators
Here's another article I found interesting... it helped re-shape my understanding of what the differences would be between typical home flight sim setups and an FAA-approved "Basic Aviation Training Device" on which a pilot can be credited for training hours.
The difference is wider than I initially thought!
Bonus: the article starts off implying that this is just the first in what will be a series of articles about "personal flight simulators." Looking forward to the next one!To start our new series on personal flight simulators, we go into the basics: What we consider to be a personal flight simulator; and what level of sim is required to be able to use the time operating it for credit toward a rating and keeping an instrument rating current.Tags: None
