OVERVIEW
CheckRide® is a scenario-based training system for flight training in a simulator environment. The student is able to perform training scenarios without a flight instructor to complement any flight training. In addition, a ‘free flight’ feature allows the student to fly anywhere in the world and has the option to record the flight for playback and evaluation later. An Instructor station is also included to provide Instructor guided flight training. CheckRide® is sold in 2 versions, Standard and Professional. The Standard Version includes the Instructor station only, whereas the Professional version inlcudes both the Instructor Station and the Scenario System, as well as the Scenario Builder tool.
