In order to succeed as a Pilot, you need the right training and the right tools. At LIFT Academy, we stay ahead of the curve by constantly investing in the latest technologies for our flight school students. Here are some of the state-of-the-art resources available at LIFT.
Since 2018, LIFT Academy has partnered with Diamond Aircraft to provide our students with a top-of-the-line training fleet of over 70 aircraft. LIFT students learn using the DA40 single-engine and DA42 twin-engine aircraft. With a large fleet of training aircraft available, students not only have the opportunity to train on leading-edge technology but also have more opportunities to build their flight hours.
The LIFT Kit each student receives includes a Bose headset, made specifically for Pilots to enhance noise reduction and comfort.
The Diamond planes also align with our commitment to aviation sustainability. According to Diamond Aircraft, the Austro Engine in our training aircraft burns about 50% less fuel at equal power and produces less exhaust than a comparable training aircraft.
Most importantly, the technology in our all-Diamond fleet closely mirrors the type of technology LIFT students will encounter at Republic Airways — making the transition from LIFT student to Republic Pilot smoother.
Students at LIFT Academy will also hone their skills on a range of simulators from FRASCA International, True Course Simulations and Diamond Simulation. Our simulators feature wraparound visual displays, a full cockpit, authentic Garmin G1000 avionics packages and realistic flight controls. This immersive experience will help students build knowledge and habits that are easily applied to their flight lessons.
LIFT also leverages cutting-edge virtual reality technology to further immerse students in realistic training scenarios. Cockpit procedures trainers provided by VRPilot help new students become familiar with the flight deck and LIFT procedures.
While students will spend plenty of time in Diamond aircraft and flight simulator training, Pilot instruction doesn’t stop there. That is why LIFT Academy offers modern classrooms, computer-based training and software to help you succeed.
We know that investing in the latest technologies is investing in our students’ success. If you’re interested in learning more about the resources available at LIFT Academy, visit flywithlift.com/about-us/our-technology.
