Welcome to Chinook Flight Simulation...
... and the world of superior, advanced flight training, where you are a cherished customer, not just a student.
CFS is an advanced flight training facility that embraces the hard work of the General Aviation coalition of GAMA, AOPA, EAA, Redbird SkyPort and others to modernize flight training;
to provide an environment purely dedicated to the education of people young and old; with personnel who are teachers, not just instructors.
We want to make flight training and recurrent training an activity you want to do, not something merely required by regulation.
One hour with us will be something that you will want to meet with your pilot group to talk about.
We use the latest aviation simulation technology from Redbird Flight Simulations to offer you the ideal training environment. You will walk out with the knowledge that you have learned more in one hour than you would in two hours of operating the actual aircraft, because you don't spend time fueling, taxiing, in the pattern, or going around to try it again.
The time and money you spend in your airplane are now more effective and efficient, because you are trained and prepared.

The Redbird FMX Simulator
The FMX is an FAA-approved three-axis full-motion Advanced Aviation Training Device. Training you receive in the FMX is valid toward your pilot certificates:
- Private Pilot: 2.5 hours
- Instrument: 20 hours (or 40% if on a 141 course)
- Commercial: 50 hours
- Air Transport Pilot: 25 Hours
You can also fly your Instrument Proficiency Check and Instrument Check Ride in the FMX (and upon upcoming regulation changes, the Commercial and ATP Check Rides).
