Legacy Flight Training Takes Delivery of Full-Motion Meridian Simulator at Scottsdale, AZ Training Center

Simulator and In-Aircraft Training Now Available at Both SDL and VRB Training Centers

Legacy Flight Training is proud to announce the delivery of their much anticipated full-motion Piper Meridian flight simulator at their Scottsdale, Arizona training center.

Legacy Flight Training’s facility at the Scottsdale Municipal Airport, open since early spring 2015, brings the unique expertise, process and training tools, once only available at its Vero Beach, FL facility, to Piper owners and customers on the west coast.  Since 2010, the Company has provided a well-honed training curriculum that is customized to each specific customer and their skill set and incorporates the use of custom designed Redbird motion simulators to enhance training for Piper Meridian, Mirage and Matrix pilots. The inclusion of training in a full motion simulator offers pilots the opportunity to train for all situations and scenarios, including those too risky to simulate in the aircraft.  The simulators can be configured to represent either the Garmin G-1000 or the Avidyne Entegra cockpits to allow pilots to gain familiarity and confidence by training in the cockpit that most closely represents their actual aircraft.

“We are pleased to continue our relationship with Legacy Flight Training in Scottsdale,” said Todd Willinger, CEO for Redbird Flight Simulations. “Legacy continues to provide high quality training combined with innovative technology to ensure the best flight training experience to their customers.”

“This unique training is important to enhancing the skill and safety of Piper M-Class pilots worldwide,” noted Simon Caldecott, President and CEO of Piper Aircraft. “When you purchase a Piper aircraft you purchase peace of mind and that includes access to quality training facilities with state of the art equipment like Legacy Flight Training.”

Legacy Flight Training is an Authorized Piper Training Center, is FAASTeam approved and Insurance Company Approved.  Training is provided by experienced staff with PA-46 specific experience and knowledge.  The Center Director for Legacy Flight Training’s SDL facility, Jason Ottariano, was recently awarded Flight Instructor of the Year for the state of Arizona, and again as the 2015 Regional Flight Instructor of the Year for the Western Pacific Region.
