Simulator training


TRAIN FOR REALITY BEFORE REALITY TESTS YOU!
Fly in a simulator those events that you would not dare do in a real aircraft so you can be ready should they ever happen.  Only through simulation can you get the level of proficiency in the safety of the simulation so the unplanned does not become the unexpected.

Packages


  • Discovery Flight – Free  You will receive 20 minutes of simulated flight training in the Redbird FMX full-motion simulator free of charge, whether as an intro flight or applied toward a full training session, that will be logged in your logbook after one full hour of paid Simulation training. During that 20 minutes, you will receive more honest training time than if you had hired an instructor to go out in a physical airplane with you!

Think about it: How much time do you spend paying an instructor, while you preflight, load the plane, start, taxi, prepare for take off before your actual training time? In the Redbird, when you terminate an instrument approach, you restart the exercise within 10 seconds, not 10 minutes. The scenarios an instructor can give you in a real plane, in real flight, in absolute safety are limited. Our full motion simulator allows us to offer more authentic failures and challenges while getting the true feel of flying, and then, further, pause the simulation, talk about the activity, then IMMEDIATELY repeat it.  Can a desktop Aviation Training Device do all that? When was the last time you flew with your child or grandchild, and felt you could face any flight challenge safely?

Realistic training gives you the confidence to fly.
