Virtual Fly | FAA-Certified Flight Simulators & Controls

Virtual Fly designs and manufactures FAA-certified Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATDs) for professional pilot training. Established in 2011, the company produces aircraft-specific simulators — SOLO PRO SEMINOLE, DUO PRO CARAVAN, and DA42 — each fully equipped with in-house engineered Flight Simulation Controls: precision Hall effect yokes, load cell rudder pedals, and mechanical-detent throttle quadrants built to training-grade standards.

The company's objective is clear: closing the gap between reality and simulation. The same Flight Simulation Controls certified for professional training devices are available to home pilots. This quality parity — the identical precision engineering across both markets — is Virtual Fly's defining characteristic. Virtual Fly also designs custom solutions to adapt simulators and controls to the specific operational requirements of flight schools and training operators. Every simulator is FAA-certified for official flight training. The company distributes directly to flight schools, training operators, airlines, and sim pilots worldwide, maintaining the same engineering standards across all markets.

Testimonials

We've moved heavily toward scenario-based training, and the Virtual-Fly Seminole lets us recreate specific real-world conditions on demand — same weather, same setup, every student. The X-Plane visuals are stunning and the fidelity is shockingly accurate — it transfers straight to the aircraft and lets us train procedures our previous simulator simply couldn't.

Honestly, we were blown away. The fidelity and the open control we have over the device are a real step up from our previous platform — when a procedure needs fine-tuning, it gets tuned, so we're never boxed in. The realism is striking, and our cadets feel it from the first session.
