STAY Indiana Selects ELITE Simulation Solutions' PI135 Pro BATD

Indiana, USA – ELITE Simulation Solutions is proud to announce that STAY Indiana in the United States has selected the ELITE PI135 Pro BATD to further strengthen its pilot training capabilities and provide students with the highest possible standard of foundational aviation instruction.

As modern flight training continues to evolve, simulation technologies have become an essential component of effective pilot education, particularly during the early stages of training where procedural repetition, situational awareness, and cockpit familiarization are critical to long-term pilot development. The addition of the ELITE PI135 Pro BATD reflects STAY Indiana’s commitment to investing in professional-grade training tools capable of delivering realistic and highly efficient learning experiences for future pilots.

The ELITE PI135 Pro BATD combines realistic flight dynamics, advanced avionics integration, configurable cockpit environments, and professional instructor operating capabilities within a compact and scalable FAA-approved training platform. Designed to support IFR procedures, navigation exercises, communication workflows, emergency situations, and scenario-based instruction, the simulator allows students to build confidence and procedural proficiency within a safe and controlled environment.

By integrating the PI135 Pro BATD into its training program, STAY Indiana will be able to enhance the quality and accessibility of its instruction while optimizing aircraft utilization and improving training efficiency. The simulator environment also allows instructors to expose students to operational situations and procedural exercises that may be difficult or less practical to reproduce consistently in live aircraft operations.

“We are delighted to support STAY Indiana with the integration of the ELITE PI135 Pro BATD,” said René Huddlestone, Director of Marketing & Sales at ELITE Simulation Solutions. “Basic pilot training forms the foundation of every aviation career, and providing students with realistic, immersive, and professionally structured simulation environments is essential to building strong procedural and operational skills from the very beginning.”

The continued growth of simulation-based training within U.S. flight schools reflects the increasing demand for scalable, cost-effective, and technologically advanced solutions capable of supporting the next generation of aviation professionals.

Since 1987, ELITE Simulation Solutions has delivered certified and FAA-approved flight simulation devices worldwide, supporting flight schools, universities, airlines, military organizations, and aviation academies with Swiss-engineered simulation technologies and long-term technical expertise.
