Scripted ATC scenarios that run alongside your simulator. Real clearances, real decisions, real consequences — built by a CFI with 30+ years of GA and airline experience.
The hardest part of instrument flying isn’t flying the airplane — it’s working the radios under pressure. Cleared As Filed is where you practice that. A growing library of IFR scenarios you fly in your own sim, where realistic recorded ATC works the flight with you from clearance to touchdown — every readback, vector, and curveball the real system throws — with no live controller to schedule around or freeze up in front of.
On a live network there’s a real person listening and a real fear of getting it wrong out loud. Not here. Key up, stumble, rewind, and run it again until the phraseology is automatic. It’s the difference between studying comms and actually rehearsing them.
No logging into a network and hoping someone’s working your airport. No published controller hours. Your ATC is always staffed and always realistic — the only thing between you and a session is opening your sim.
Each scenario is built like a real training flight: a CFI briefing on the way in, decisions that matter in the air, and honest feedback waiting on the debrief. You leave having learned something — not just having logged time.
Reroutes. Weather that turns. Traffic. The call you didn’t want at the moment you didn’t want it. Every scenario is designed to throw what a real flight would — so the first time it happens for real, it isn’t the first time.
A routine morning IFR hop from Pittsburgh to Akron-Canton. The weather is straightforward, the route is simple, and nothing about the preflight brief suggests anything other than an easy flight. Pay attention to that brief anyway.
Begin Scenario ▶A night IFR currency flight to shake off the rust. Straightforward routing, real ATC, and the kind of flight every instrument pilot should do regularly to stay sharp.
🔒Members Only▶You filed it, you're flying it, and the weather at your destination is deteriorating fast. At what point do you call it? A real lesson in go/no-go decision making enroute.
🔒Members Only▶Back to the same airport you departed from, but in IMC. Multiple practice approaches to build the kind of confidence that only comes from repetition in realistic conditions.
Mountain IFR through the Appalachians in a non-FIKI single. The terrain doesn't announce itself. Neither does the weather. Read your brief carefully.
🔒Members Only▶A night IFR leg with a company Chief Pilot in the right seat. Rain, turbulence, real ATC, and the kind of scenarios you'd expect on a checkride. Fly it professionally from engine start to shutdown.
🔒Members Only▶In development.
Three practice approaches at Burke Lakefront in low IFR. The glideslope goes out of service on the second approach. You will need to decide whether to hold, divert to Cuyahoga County, or head to Cleveland Hopkins. X-Plane 12 and DataLink required.
🔒Members Only▶Step into the left seat for an IFR run from Cleveland to Newark. PDC or voice clearance — your call — then a congested arrival into one of the toughest terminal environments in the country. X-Plane 12 and DataLink required.
🔒Members Only▶Additional scenarios covering currency flights, east coast weather diversions, approach confidence building, and more are in development.
