One-G AATD Simulator
Rental: $65/hr
Flight Instruction: $70/hr

The one-G foundation is a Cessna 172 cockpit that includes a full set of traditional gauges, a 1G-650 touchscreen GPS emulator, a King nav/com emulator and an autopilot and comes with a simulation engine populated with the most recent FAA navdata and topography. It is an FAA approved advanced aviation training device (AATD) that works with the 1G-IOS instructor operating station that allows instructors to create dynamic training sessions and track student progress. With one-G technology, students have the opportunity to practice scenarios that would be impossible to safely practice in the air. It’s affordable, accessible, and exclusive – Code 1 is one of only a handful of schools in the nation that have this equipment.

Our training is enhanced by operating from a small airport with minimal traffic—no long taxis to the runway or long holds for jet traffic at Thompson Field or Van Zandt Regional!  The atmosphere at both airports is laid back country friendly—everyone is committed to making you succeed. Come join us for a life-altering introductory flight or for opportunity to hone your flight skills.

Excellent Instruction from Small Airport = Focused Learning & Money Saved
Excellent instructors! The airport is perfect for learning to fly since it's uncontrolled (allowing you to focus on flying, not on Air Traffic Control), and there are very few other planes flying in and out of the area. Everything about the experience has felt personal (they genuinely care about every student), comfortable (the instructors are very easy to learn from, the airport is small and comfortable), and flexible (working around my schedule and adjusting based on my specific learning styles). Code 1 is 5 stars!
