Full motion simulator that meets FAA standards for landings (like
what FlightSafety has for Citations) = $8 to $10 million. Maybe less, if it’s
been done before and the avionics system architecture isn’t terribly
complicated. Could be more.
Non-motion, but very high quality (like what SimCom does for Barons,
etc.) = about $1.0 to $1.5 million.

Subject: [LML] some thoughts on accidents
What is the cost to set up a simulator for an
aircraft? I'm familiar with the structure of a full motion simulator used
by the gov for F18's but is that what is being used to train Citation
pilots? I agree good simulator training would be a great addition.
