What makes Aviator.NYC unique?

Major Airline Pilot as Your Instructor

Your instructor is a major airline pilot who flies jets for a living—not a retired instructor or part-timer building hours. This is their career, not a stepping stone.

FAA-Approved AATD Simulator

Train in our PFC GTX G1000 NXi simulator with GFC 700 autopilot. FAA-certified for building flight hours and sharpening skills from day one.

NYC Location

No commute to the airport. Train in the simulator during the week in NYC, then fly on weekends. Save time and maximize progress.

Real Progress, No Filler

Structured training focused on results. NYC pilots train smart—master procedures in the sim, then apply them confidently in the aircraft without redoing lessons.
