How about offering just the ground school to the FSX pilots. I know we can't do the actual flying for the training but how about offering something like ground school in the RW. I know when I was in flight training for m ASEL PPL there were some students that were just doing the ground school without flying. After they completed ground school they went up for the flight training. I did mine simultaniously but if we offered it to the DVA pilots they could actually learn a bit about the airspace and other factors but not do te flying portion. Just a proposal.

Adrian - we're working on getting the FSX version of the flight academy running.

In the meantime - look at all and use the documentation provided.

As Andy stated, the flight academy will be able to use FSX soon. Your idea of a ground school has been incorporated into the new current PPL. Go to the document library and download the documents. As we get the backlog of the Flight Academy smaller, we do want to hold a ground school program on teamspeak......we need two things, more instructors and more instructors.... smile
