Everyday at JAXAERO we are working to find ways to make flight training safer and more affordable. We are excited to announce that through our partnership with Virtual Aviation of Minnesota we have been able to bring a flight simulator to our school. Use of the simulator is available for all students and can help prepare you for upcoming check rides without the hefty cost of taking an actual airplane up.
