Announcing: Red Bird Flight Training Device What: Red Bird FMX Full motion flight training device. This is the first flight training device that combines full motion, control loading, worldwide terrain database, and more then 200 degree visual system into a package that is cost effective for initial flight training. This is new technology that has the potential to change the way flight training is carried out. IMG_0230_Desktop_Resolution.JPG Why: Simulators save time, money, and are safer then a airplane for flight training. How: This is also a excellent VFR simulator. A VFR simulator has to be more realistic then a IFR simulator because VFR flying is by feel and visual clues. Simulators are well proven for IFR. This device will do an excellent job as a IFR trainer and be capable of simulating legacy instrument panels and the future with G430/530, G500/G600G1000 instrumentation. It is also approved for doing instrument rating renewals. Why a use a simulator? * Normal flight training in an airplane is very inefficient. For example if you are having trouble with the flare you have to do a walk around, start up, run up, take off, fly a 6 minute circuit for EACH 15 second flare and touch down practice the student needs. In a sim all you have to do is setup the airplane up on a 1/4 mile final, fly the approach and landing and reset back to 1/4 mile, again and again until you get it. Same thing with steep turns, stalls, spins, (no commute to the practice area) This alone saves …
