Do teachers need aviation experience?
No prior aviation experience is needed. STEMPilot provides guided simulator missions, instructional materials, and training to help educators introduce flight in the classroom.
Is this a complete STEM learning program?
Simulators are paired with curriculum, lesson materials, and guided flights. Students connect a concept to a mission, work together on a flight plan, then review what happened in the simulator.
How does this connect to learning standards?
STEMPilot publishes NGSS-aligned curriculum and lesson materials. Alignment varies by program; review the relevant curriculum and grade-level documents with your instructional team.
Can students work together on one simulator?
Yes. Flight Crews share planning, flying, observation, and review. Crew size varies by program and lesson. Rotate roles so every student participates in the learning.
What training and support are available?
STEMPilot provides professional development and technical support. Specific training schedules and ongoing instructional support vary by package; ask the team to include those details in your proposal.
How do we choose the right setup?
Start with your students’ ages, class size, available space, and learning goals. STEMPilot can help you compare an individual simulator with a multi-station lab and confirm your equipment and training needs.
What is included with a simulator?
Published packages include simulator hardware, software, controls, curriculum, guided missions, and instructional resources. Review the itemized list for your chosen model before ordering.
Is a warranty included?
STEMPilot lists a one-year simulator warranty and optional extended coverage. Confirm the exact coverage, registration requirements, and terms with the team.
When will our equipment arrive?
Delivery depends on product selection, quantity, and current demand. Request a current written estimate, including freight and any school access requirements.
Can we automatically update the flight software?
STEMPilot’s FAQ cautions that custom missions are configured for the installed and tested software version. Consult technical support before changing flight software.
