Fleet & Simulators
Fleet Overview
The power behind the success of Embry-Riddle Prescott’s Golden Eagles Flight Team lies in the two Cessna 150s that team members fly during competitive events.
Students in the Embry-Riddle Prescott aviation program begin their private pilot flight training in the 180-horsepower Cessna 172 Skyhawk.
Students attending school at Embry-Riddle’s Prescott Campus will do all of their multi-engine flight training in the new Diamond DA42NG (Next Generation). And it truly is “next-gen.”
The reliability of the Super Decathlon's 180-horsepower engine and robust construction makes this the ideal aircraft for teaching student pilots how to properly recover from a variety of extreme unusual attitudes, including spins.
Students enrolled in Embry-Riddle Prescott’s rotorcraft training program will begin their flight training in the popular Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter — arguably the most popular training helicopter in the industry.
Students in Embry-Riddle Prescott’s commercial helicopter program will do their advanced training in the world’s most popular and highly produced four-place, piston-powered helicopter — the Robinson R44 Raven.
Simulators
The C172S G1000 simulator models give our student pilots a real sense of immersion within the training environment. Complete with simulated aircraft traffic, terrain warnings systems, engine/system/avionic failures, weight and balance variants, and advanced 3-axis control loading (with force control feedback), offers students the “real feel” of the aircraft.
The Frasca DA42-VI TruFlite AATD Simulator is among the most highly respected advanced flight training devices in the industry. Installed in 2020, this DA42-VI model provides student pilots with three-projector wrap-around visuals, 5000 lumen projectors, advanced weather with vivid lightning, thunder, wind, cloud layers, rain, snow, and icing simulated conditions. The Frasca Simplicity instructor station includes dual touch screen monitors, lit keyboard, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity for iPad ForeFlight navigation to help each student and instructor with both simple and complex flight training environments.
The FAA-certified AATDs feature aircraft model-specific aerodynamic programming, control loading, and a Garmin G1000 glass cockpit layout that precisely replicates our fleet of Cessna 172s.

Since the Wright brothers and Kitty Hawk, learning to handle low-altitude crosswinds and wind gusts has proven to be one of the most challenging parts of a pilot’s training. Embry-Riddle’s advanced Redbird Xwind SE crosswind training/practice device enables our flight students to safely practice the proper approach and landing procedures for dealing with both steady crosswinds and strong wind gusts.
