DC Flight Simulation IFR Training Scholarship
DC Flight Simulation is awarding one instrument student a 25-hour / 30-day Redbird FMX simulator package — a $490 retail value.
The Application
Create a 30–60 second video making your case for why you should receive the scholarship.
Do your homework. Research the applicable FAR/AIM regulations and FAA guidance regarding the use of approved simulation during instrument training, and tell us:
What the regulations allow.
How those provisions apply to your instrument training.
How you would incorporate 25 hours in the Redbird FMX into your training plan.
Why access to this resource would make a meaningful difference in reaching your instrument-rating goals.
Where you take it from there is up to you.
We aren't looking for a professionally produced video or the applicant with the most followers. We're looking for a serious student who understands the opportunity, has done the research, and can make a strong case for how they would use it.
Post your 30–60 second video, tag DC Flight Simulation, and make sure the post is public/shareable so we can feature submissions on our social feeds.
