Aviation Training Foundation LLC (ATF) was established by US military veterans Steven and Michael Hawrylak. The company is backed by over 50 years of combined aviation training experience. Michael Hawrylak, COO and pilot, personally oversees the build of each flight simulator. The company currently provides simulators to FAA-certified air carriers and flight training facilities such as Epic Flight Academy, based in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Prior to founding ATF, Hawrylaks managed several high-end, internationally-certified training devices and assisted in the world’s first full-motion AATD level Cessna172 simulator at Epic Flight Academy. ATF manufactures OEM replica hardware at the Florida facility and ships worldwide. It is relied upon by accredited flight and maintenance training facilities given the quality, accuracy, and customization of its products.
With over 40 plus years working in the Aviation Part 147 School Industry, Steven have found that the majority of quality training devices come from very few organizations or companies. For many new schools, these trainers are sometimes too expensive and are often inadequate for today's Aviation Maintenance Technician. All over the globe Aviation Maintenance Technicians are often brought into the industry and are unable to complete basic tasks. In an effort to put Stevens's skills and knowledge to good use, and give back to the Aviation Community that he love so much, Aviation Training Foundation LLC was established.
