Changing the Face of Pilot Training

General aviation training hasn’t kept pace with the aircraft themselves. Today’s planes are faster, more complex, and more capable—yet much of GA training still relies on outdated sims with little immersion or realism.

Flytpath was born from a simple, yet powerful idea: that airline-grade simulator technology should be available to all pilots—not just those in airline transport or corporate aviation. Our founders and industry partners—aviation professionals, instructors, and engineers—set out to bridge that gap.

The result is a purpose-built, full-motion training ecosystem that replicates the physical, visual, and decision-making environment of real flight—all within a cost-effective, FAA compliant AATD (pending approval). We’re launching with the FP7+, modeled on the Cirrus G7+—a platform recognized for innovation and safety—but our mission extends beyond one aircraft type. We aim to modernize how pilots train across types, experience levels, and operations.

Train for the Moments That Decide Outcomes

Most general aviation accidents follow predictable patterns—runway excursions, failed go-arounds, spatial disorientation, and weather-related loss of control account for most serious incidents, not mechanical failure. These events are often fatal because pilots face situations they’ve never been able to practice under realistic conditions. Traditional GA training doesn’t routinely expose pilots to these high-stakes, time-critical decisions.

Flytpath was built to change that—with a fully immersive training platform designed to rehearse real-world scenarios before they become real-world statistics.

Accident scenarios demand more than buttonology—they require feel, timing, and instinct. Our full-motion platform and visual immersion recreate true aerodynamic behavior and disorienting conditions with physical fidelity. Whether it’s an unstable approach, a wake turbulence upset, or a rapid go-around transition, pilots experience not just the what—but the feel—of flight under stress.

Pilots don’t just need hours—they need to rehearse real decision-making scenarios. Flytpath generated scenarios are built around real accident data and actual loss events: delayed go-arounds, VMC into IMC transitions, spatial disorientation, and automation surprises. With immersive, instructor driven sessions, pilots develop the awareness, timing, and decision-making needed when things don’t go as planned.

Instructor decisions are safety-critical yet rarely evaluated under pressure. Our simulator allows CFIs to run right-seat sessions with simulated student errors and unpredictable failures—testing how quickly they recognize risk and intervene. Schools can assess instructor performance and reinforce the skills that protect real-world flights

Emergencies in flight are unpredictable. The FP7+ creates both scripted and unscripted, dynamic failures—like trim malfunctions, control anomalies, sudden weather shifts, or high workload missed approaches —so pilots learn to manage surprise, workload, and ambiguity in real time. It’s not about memorizing a flow—it’s about practicing how to think, act, and fly under pressure.

In air transport aviation, pilots train for failure—over and over—because it builds muscle memory, decisiveness, and calm under pressure. Flytpath brings that same structured approach to general aviation, giving Private, Commercial, and Instrument pilots frequent, scenario-based sessions that go beyond the checkride to build long-term proficiency and confidence.

Level D simulators are powerful, but prohibitively expensive. The FP7+ delivers high-fidelity motion, advanced visuals, and immersive training impact at a fraction of the price. With a compact footprint, minimal staffing requirements, and financing options, it’s accessible to schools and programs of all sizes.

Purpose-Built for the Cirrus G7+

Cirrus has long been a leader in safety, design, and pilot training. With its advanced avionics, CAPS system, Safe Return Emergency Autoland, and many other modern flight characteristics, it’s the ideal aircraft to showcase what Flytpath can do.

Our first device is purpose-built to support pilots training in the Cirrus SR series aircraft. From sidestick feel to flight behavior, the FP7+ is designed to reflect the aircraft’s unique characteristics—providing pilots with an immersive, high-fidelity environment that builds confidence, sharpens skills, and delivers a deeply authentic experience. But Cirrus is just the beginning.

Our modular platform is designed to scale. As we grow, we’ll expand into other major aircraft lines—giving schools and pilots more options, and more realism, than ever before.

A Complete Training Ecosystem

Most general aviation simulators rely on fixed-base or desktop designs with off-the-shelf components. They’re useful for procedural drills—but often lack immersion, realism, and engagement. Pilots don’t enjoy using them, and flight schools report low utilization despite the high purchase cost.

Flytpath is different. Our high-fidelity system is built from the ground up to deliver a motion-enabled, fully immersive experience that pilots want to train in—at a fraction of the cost of a Level D device.

Motion Platform

Our 6DoF motion platform replicates the full range of aircraft movement, delivering motion cues that mirror control inputs and aerodynamic forces. Paired with our image generator and transitional algorithms, pilots feel accelerations, turbulence, attitude changes, and ground vibrations with high realism. These cues build stronger situational awareness, faster reactions, and reliable skill transfer to real flight.

Visual System

Our Level D fidelity image generator recreates advanced texture terrain mapping, weather, seasonal lighting, and dynamic environmental conditions—from moonlit winter IFR approaches in New England to summer convection over the Rockies.

Headset

The Varjo XR-4 Focal Edition is the world’s most advanced mixed-reality headset, used by NASA, Lockheed Martin, top air forces, and Formula 1 teams. It delivers human-eye resolution, foveal rendering, and precise depth tracking, replacing costly Mylar or glass-mirror collimated displays with an incredible fully stereoscopic 360° × 360° immersive view.

Instructor Console

Our purpose-built, user-friendly IOS enables flight instructors to inject failures, adjust atmospheric conditions, or pause and replay in real time. In-flight recordings from the pilots POV give a new and more accurate way of debriefing users in a more constructive manner.

Training Modules

Flytpath delivers scenarios that count—training pilots for events impossible to safely replicate in the real aircraft: engine-start failures, icing, windshear, wake turbulence, VMC-into-IMC, complex missed approaches, and terrain-escape maneuvers, as well as re-creations of real-world NTSB accidents. Sessions build muscle memory, sharpen reactions, and reinforce standardized IFR/VFR communications while supporting instructor proficiency and recruitment.

It enables direct, real-world feedback from some of the most skilled Cirrus instructors and pilots in the country—ensuring our simulators meet the highest possible standards and evolve rapidly to address the practical needs of the training market.

We couldn’t imagine a better debut environment to begin reshaping the future of general aviation training.

Let’s Redefine What’s Possible

Flytpath isn’t just another simulator. It’s a smarter, more efficient way to train. It cuts airframe hours and maintenance costs, keeps instructors productive during aircraft downtime, and boosts consistency and revenue. The result? Students progress faster, and the sim becomes a tool pilots want to use—not avoid.

Can we actually afford it?

That’s a fair question—because most high-fidelity sims are built for airlines, not flight schools. But Flytpath was designed specifically for general aviation, with advanced capability at a price that fits real training budgets. It’s accessible, practical, and built to work for your program—Let’s talk about how Flytpath can fit your training model.
