In this installation of AVweb's series on flight simulators we're going to take a look at a company that uses an innovative program to bring access to sophisticated—and expensive—flight simulators to users who otherwise could not afford them. Started in 2010 by Xylon Saltzman, a flight instructor and charter pilot who was unhappy with the level of access to high-fidelity simulators in general aviation, one-G Simulation (www.flyone-g.com) makes a series of Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATD). These are simulators that can be used for experience that can be credited toward ratings and recency of experience for instrument pilots. In keeping with the American spirit of innovation, Saltzman built the first one in his garage.
