Problem
Flight schools and individual pilots often lack affordable, realistic simulators that provide FAA‑approved training, immersive visuals, and flexible aircraft configurations, limiting hands‑on practice and crew‑resource‑management training.
Solution
Redbird Flight Simulations offers a tiered portfolio of aviation training devices that combine professional‑grade motion platforms, wrap‑around visual systems, and quick‑change cockpit modules. Full‑motion models such as the MCX and FMX deliver dual‑control capability and three‑axis electric motion for realistic tactile feedback, while the SD provides a fully enclosed Advanced Aviation Training Device without motion for space‑constrained environments. Desktop solutions—including the Jay, Jay Velocity, and TD—bring FAA‑approved training tools to classrooms and homes with ergonomic mounting, professional‑grade controls, and preloaded aircraft libraries. All devices integrate with Lockheed Prepar3D software, support over 30 aircraft configurations, and are certified by the FAA, EASA, and other authorities, enabling institutions to meet proficiency requirements and pilots to maintain skills cost‑effectively.
Target Audience
Primary customers are flight schools, university aviation programs, and training organizations that require certified simulators, as well as individual pilots and aviation enthusiasts seeking home or desktop training solutions.
