History
PC-based flight simulation software has been popular since the introduction of Microsoft Flight Simulator in the early 1980s, and as soon as such software appeared, pilots and instructors started arguing about if and how they should be used in formal flight training.
Today, the benefit of flight simulators in flight training is rarely of dispute - for many years already, flight schools, flight instructors, and pilots have been using Microsoft’s Flight Simulator software and others to train and stay proficient (including FlightSafety International, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and the U. S. Navy).
In 2008, Microsoft, recognizing Flight Simulator’s potential as a training aid, released Microsoft ESP. ESP provided commercial, government, and educational organizations with a robust simulation platform on which to build custom training solutions.
In 2008, my cockpit-building hobby led me to search a program that would allow interaction with Flight Simulator. After weeks of research, I could not find any commercially available program that would cater my needs, and so. . . I wrote one.
The Instructor Station™, as conceived, would enable practicing approaches, changing weather and inject failures to practice procedures, along with managing the simulator itself (networked PCs, etc. ). Little did I know when I started writing back then that it would evolve into something used by flight schools in formal pilot training, as part of FAA-approved certified aviation training devices.
The Instructor Station™ can be used as part of an FAA approved training device that students can log hours in (when under the supervision of a certified instructor). The Instructor Station and the simulation can be run on two separate computers over a network, or on the same machine.
No matter what your specific needs or situation is, one thing’s for sure: the Instructor Station™ will revolutionize the way you use your flight simulator product, whether for business or leisure.
What People Are Saying
Instructor Station™ has proven to be very successful among the Aviation, PC Flight Simulation and Cockpit Building communities. Thousands of aviation professionals and enthusiasts are using the Instructor Station all throughout the world.
Present in 70+ countries, and more than 8+ years of continued development and support !

" About your great software Instructor Station, I can tell you that it is really similar to the A320 Full Flight Simulator one. [. . . ] I really think your software is an excellent tool for people like me; it helps your training as a pilot a lot. "
(Airbus 320 pilot) J. B. (Portugal)
" I have been using your iSTATION for some time now and I just can't get enough of it. [. . . ] By the way I just downloaded version 1. 30 and I can't wait to start using it. The feature for starting the pmSystems seems to me terrific. Keep up the good work. "
A. L. (Mexico)
" First of all, congrats! You made a very nice and useful product. [. . . ] Thank you very much for your time, and again, for your wonderful program. "
A. D. (Brazil)
" The first impression is that it is - in the true sense of the word - a great program. "
P. W. (Germany)
" I am excited about your new software. "
A. P. (Australia)
" I purchased the 2. 0 upgrade and it looks so much better and finally happy to see US lbs included. What I like the most is how I can input the weights directly into the FS Stations through IS. Previously, I was doing this by using the FSX menu line>Aircraft>Fuel and Payload screens, via the curved screen. . . it took forever. "
J. C. (USA)
" Thank you for this software, which is a remarkable bit of programming. "
D. M. (Germany)
" Regards from P. and many thanks for this amazing tool. "
P. V. (Germany)

F. A. (Norway)
" Your tool is very useful to me for exploring my job as A320 pilot at Indonesia AirAsia. "
M. I. (Indonesia)
" Let me state that iStation is a great product and I highly recommend it. [. . . ] I just think flight simulation is just fantastic and your iStation makes it even better ! "
G. A. (USA)
“ For anyone thinking of putting together a cockipt or for those who already have one, a vital program is the Instructor Station, with it you can perform many tasks without having to access the menus of the FS, put fuel, train approaches, simulate faults and etc . . . Luis Gordo did an excellent job with this software that originally was created for his own cockipt that is an A320. In addition to the excellent quality of the software what also stands out is the price !! The same software only the Project Magenta you will pay the small sum of 800 euros !! Already Luis software costs only 39. 50 euros !! What difference huh? ”

Focus and Limits
Instrument Simming 21st Century describes and explains advanced aviation knowledge needed for truly realistic instrument simulations. It applies to most aircraft, airports, airspaces, and simulators. It does not focus on any particular airport, aircraft, airspace, or simulator.
This manual is for home flight-simulation computer programs. It is based on real aviation laws, regulations, and procedures so home flight-simulation enthusiasts can maximize their enjoyment. Because some aspects of home flight-simulation games are not exactly like real-world aviation, some information in this book is not exactly like real flight. That is why Instrument Simming 21st Century is not intended for and should not be used for real-world flight or lessons. No liability is accepted for any misuse of this manual. – Bill Stack, author
Use Your Time Productively
Don’t lose valuable flight-simming opportunities searching the internet for flimsy freebies. Most are worth their cost. Ftldave says it best:
“YouTube is hit or miss. Sometimes there's great, informative content, other times the videos are useless and unintelligible. How much time do you want to spend searching for the former, how much time to waste with the latter? As is often said about open software, the same is true for this: It's free if your time has no value to you. ”
Flight simmers have trusted, benefitted, and enjoyed my instructional books since 1997.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
A lot of time and effort has been invested by me and others toward making a quality product that is useful to people. Any book with physical defects will be replaced at no cost. If you can show that the content of Instrument Simming 21st Century is not as described, your money will be refunded. If you find facts that you believe are in error, please let me know so I can evaluate them. – Bill Stack, Author
