Frequently Asked Questions
General
We are working to build FSA into a place where flight simmers, pilots, and aviation enthusiasts can come together to showcase the power of flight simulation as a hobby and aid to pilot training. Some of that mission already happens once a year at FlightSimExpo, our annual convention. But we can do more.
Subscription revenue has allowed us to present webinars to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), advertise flight simulation in aviation magazines, and exhibit flight simulation at events like SUN 'n FUN. We're also starting to connect simmers with local clubs and chapters that host smaller events throughout the country and across the world.
As we work to promote home flight simulation, we can begin to achieve the type of advocacy shown by the 'real-world' pilot organizations out there. What if governments started recognizing flight simulation time as valuable for real-world training? What if air traffic control organizations recruited from networks like IVAO and VATSIM? What if our community played a role in designing aircraft of the future?
We think it's possible, someday, through an independent, simmer-driven organization like FSA. To learn more, read more about us.

FSA Captains
Although most FSA content is available for free, we do offer a subscription for those who wish to support our mission to promote and grow the flight simulation community.
Subscription proceeds are re-invested back into the community by showcasing the power of flight simulation as a hobby and aid to pilot training. Examples of how we've helped build the community include exhibiting flight simulation at events like SUN 'n FUN and conducting a study that quantifies flight simulation's impact on real-world training. For more information, read more about us.
Subscription income also allow us to make the website available without advertisements.
