Invest in Aviation Training in Manhattan

Investment minimums depend on the airframe and simulator fidelity level. A certified AATD starts at a lower price point than a Level 4 FTD. Contact us to discuss options that match your budget and goals.

Simulators range from FAA-approved Aviation Training Devices (AATDs) for general aviation to Flight Training Devices (FTDs) at Level 4 for airline-type cockpits. Certification level affects both acquisition cost and the training credits students can log.

You purchase the simulator and lease it to Aviator.NYC under a contractual agreement. We install it in our Manhattan facility, schedule all training sessions, handle maintenance, and provide instructors. You receive a revenue share based on utilization, typically paid monthly.

Revenue generation begins as soon as the simulator is installed and FAA-certified for training use. Ramp-up timing varies by airframe demand, but our existing student base and pilot training network provide immediate utilization opportunities.

No aviation experience is required. The leaseback and partnership models are structured so that Aviator.NYC handles all operational, regulatory, and instructional aspects. Investors benefit from the asset and revenue without needing domain expertise.
