Redbird FMX Details
Whether you're in primary training (VFR) or adding an instrument rating (IFR), our simulator offers these benefits:
Much more affordable than renting real aircraft with similar equipment.
If you're new to flying, familiarization with flight controls and instruments can be accomplished faster.
Pause a flight, ask questions, then resume flying or retry things quickly.
Try takeoff and landing on every flight. In a real plane, you wouldn't be allowed until mastering certain skills.
Practice multiple skills in the same flight.
For instrument training, you don't have to wait for bad weather.
You don't lose time flying to a practice area before initiating manoeuvers or instrument approaches.
Practice the unexpected safely, like engine failure on takeoff or inadvertent flight into bad weather.
Instructor can simulate failure of specific instruments.
No time wasted on pre-flight, getting dirty checking oil, etc.
Do all this from the comfort and convenience of our climate-controlled office.
Bathroom break when you need it, not when you can land.
FAA approved to log time for private, instrument, commercial, ATP certificates.
