I've had the pleasure of undertaking remote flight instruction with Julian, and the experience has been truly outstanding. Despite my West Coast location, Julian's commitment to accommodate time differences made for a seamless process, offering flexibility for sessions even during unconventional hours.
Utilizing my home flight simulator on a laptop, our lessons were both practical and engaging. Julian’s proficiency in employing the Garmin G1000 system and IFR procedures made complex topics understandable.
His extensive airline background, combined with an effective teaching approach, streamlined my learning experience. Through Julian's detailed ground school sessions and comprehensive check ride prep, I've gained invaluable insights for my instrument rating.
His ability to translate his experience and knowledge into digestible instruction is commendable. Aviator.nyc / readyroger.com remote flight instruction service stands out not only for its quality and depth but also for its respect for student's time and convenience. His broad industry knowledge and approachable teaching techniques make him an excellent choice for anyone seeking to improve their aviation skills.

I struggled to complete my instrument rating because living in the city I couldn't find the time to regularly go fly procedures with enough frequency to build the muscle memory. Aviator.nyc allowed me to not only practice frequently, but it saved me money since I got to use the simulator for some of my hours, and it also taught me procedures for how to brief and think about approaches so that when I got in the actual plane I was ready to fly the approaches rather than struggling to learn them and wasting expensive time. I continue to go there for instrument currency.

Julian helped me train and prepare for my Instrument Rating, which I passed on the first attempt. A lot of my preparation and success came from my training sessions with Julian.
...Julian helped me with everything from the basics of instrument training (attitude flying), to building flight plans, navigation, holds & hold entries, and of course many, many approaches.
I found that when I was in the plane, there were things that weren't clicking, and I'd take them to Julian to work through. The next time in the plane I had it all mastered and my flight instructor was really impressed.
Additionally, Julian walked me through multiple oral exam preparation sessions remotely over Zoom to help me identify and cover gaps in the knowledge.
Highly, highly recommend working with Julian for your training.

My experience working with Julian was tremendously pleasant throughout the whole session.
If I can turn back time, I will schedule Julian and his team for airline preparation as early as possible so that way I won't be washed out. Julian teaching style is tailor to individuals no matter zero time or airline pilot level. The amount of quality training is priceless. At the end of day you'll realize flight is nothing but joyful but the key is working with a good instructor. Appreciate your mentoring and honest opinion. Thank you so much Julian.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Julian was a crucial part of passing my instrument check ride. It was convenient and inexpensive to do much of my training at home remotely. I still even use this training to prep for and virtually fly and challenging flight before getting in the plane. Highly recommend.

Julian’s guidance was critical to me passing my instrument checkride on the first try. I’ve had about 5 instrument instructors and Julian was by far the most experienced. I’d recommend him to anyone trying to improve their instrument flying.

Nope. Our instructors are active airline pilots who work with Simtech on their days off. The best way to meet/chat with an instructor is to book a lesson or a free consultation.
Aviator.nyc is designed for people who love aviation and want to learn how to fly, as well as pilots who live and/or work in Manhattan.
Our clients range from kids who are just shy of starting their flight training to professional pilots getting ready to go to the airlines.
No flight experience is needed for your first lesson!
We are here to help you gain the experience and skills you need to make the most of your flight training.
If you are already a pilot, we can also go deeper into any subjects we cover with the simulator.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has certified our simulator for flight training usage.
The FAA issues a Letter Of Agreement to the manufacture of out simulator, in this case, Precision Flight Controls.
Here are the LOAs of our simulator that applies to our members:
A variety of airplanes! Because our simulator is for flight training, it only emulates the following models:
Single Engine
Cessna 172R, 172S, 182T, T182T, 206H, and T206H, All NXi
Beechcraft Bonanza G36 NXi
Piper Archer, Matrix and Mirage
Cessna Corvails
Diamond DA40
Single Engine Turboprop
Quest Kodiak 100
Cessna Caravan 208B NXi
Piper PA-46 Meridian (Coming Soon)

Piper Seminole and Seneca
Diamond DA42
Multi-Engine Turboprop
King Air B200 NXi
The G1000. Most G1000 Simulators are not the best quality, but our simulator is fancy schmancy. It has all the same features of the real G1000, and pilots who’ve used it can attest to its accuracy.
The only group of pilots we allow to use our simulator without an instructor is Instrument Currency. There is no guest nor outside CFI. It's a Solo session. No Checkout needed.
After a lesson, we will make an entry in your pilot logbook. (A pilot logbook is the where pilots keep their flight records.)
If you don’t have a logbook, we will provide you one.
Airbus and Boeing airplanes are not available to fly on our simulator.
Full-motion simulators at other flight schools or airlines tend to lack the features that are really valuable for training (which our G1000 has). While our simulator is AATD-certified, it does not give extra training credit for motion.
No. We only offer flight training in a simulator for fixed wing airplanes.
For a single lesson, if you are not happy with your lesson and let us know within 48 hours, we will refund you 100% of the lesson.
Ideally, one person. However, a 2-hour lesson can be split between two people, and a 3-hour lesson can be split between 3-4 people.
Student pilots in the NY/NJ area can access resources and support networks through pilot clubs, online forums, and social media groups.
We recently created Facebook Group, Aviator.nyc, which allows clients to connect and share their experiences. Other active Facebook groups include:
Joining these communities can help you connect with fellow pilots, share experiences, and gain valuable insights into your flight training journey.
