What Students and Pilots Say

★★★★★ 8 months ago

I primarily used the simulator here at IFR Sim Solutions to practice visual flying and maneuvers for my CFI checkride. It proved to be incredibly helpful! Even if you’re not working on an instrument rating, this simulator can still be beneficial for you. The facility is clean, the simulator is reliable and functional, and scheduling a time slot is a breeze. The owner is very polite and professional, and responds qui…

I’m a student pilot working on my instrument rating and practicing on the simulator was insanely helpful for getting really proficient with instrument flying. Learning the G1000 was also a great learning experience. Mark, the owner was very communicative and helpful whenever I needed it. I highly recommend any student pilot come here or even pilots looking to keep current and proficient with their instrument flying.

Great experience at IFR Sim Solutions. The facility is safe, clean and professional. The owner will go out of his way to answer any and all questions you have and does so in a timely fashion. Working towards your instrument rating can be a daunting task, especially when you are in congested air space. They run a fully FAA approved AATD Cessna 172 with a G1000. I could write a full 10 page essay explaining how helpful…

I used IFR Sim Solutions to learn the G1000 avionics system, and it was one of the best decisions I made during my flight training. It saved me thousands of dollars and a significant amount of stress compared to trying to learn everything in the airplane. I spent over 20 hours with Mark, thoroughly exploring the menus, features, and autopilot setup of the G1000. The ability to practice on my own schedule and at my o…

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like IFR Sim Solutions trades the academy's speed for flexibility and often meaningfully lower total cost. The pay-as-you-fly model keeps your money in your control, and training two to three lessons weekly around work is the proven rhythm, enough frequency to retain skills without the academy's all-in schedule. The variable to manage is momentum: local-school students who succeed book standing lesson slots, fly year-round, and treat ground study as homework rather than something that happens at the airport. Ask about aircraft scheduling depth, instructor availability on your target days, and examiner wait times in Orem, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Utah Teaches You

Utah is mountain flying's front door: high field elevations, real density altitude arithmetic, and terrain that makes weather-and-route planning a first-order skill. Students train under Salt Lake's Class B with the Wasatch Range as a constant reference, and graduate comfortable in the kind of terrain that intimidates flatland pilots.

How to Evaluate IFR Sim Solutions on Your Tour

Every school on this directory gets the same advice from us, because the fundamentals don't move. Walk the ramp and count how many aircraft are down for maintenance. Ask how many lessons a week they can actually schedule you, and how far out the booking calendar runs. Ask for first-attempt checkride pass rates and how long students wait for an examiner. And keep your money in your control: pay as you fly, or in small blocks with clear refund terms.

Then weigh the location itself. Training in Orem means building your early hours in Utah weather and airspace, and both become part of your airmanship. Our school-selection guide covers the full vetting checklist, and the financing page maps scholarships and loans that apply at schools like this one.

Common Questions About Training at IFR Sim Solutions

How long would my training take here?

Part-time students flying two to three lessons weekly typically earn a private certificate in six to twelve months and a commercial certificate in two to three years, with pace set by your calendar and the weather. Consistency decides everything: standing lesson slots beat sporadic bursts by months.

What will it cost, and can I get help paying?

Get IFR Sim Solutions's current rates directly; published numbers age fast in this industry. Nationally, plan on $80,000 to $120,000 from zero time to commercial certificates before instructing pay starts offsetting costs. Our financing guide maps the loans, scholarships, and airline cadet programs that apply here, and several scholarship cycles go undersubscribed every single year.

How should I arrange a visit?

Call ahead and ask for a tour on a normal training day, not a quiet one. Use the directions button above to plan the drive to Orem, arrive early enough to watch ramp operations, and bring the vetting checklist from this page. A school proud of its operation will show you everything; hesitation is itself an answer.
