A realistic cockpit environment that counts toward FAA requirements and costs less than aircraft time. One of the smartest tools in your training arsenal.
Simulator hours are billed at a lower rate than aircraft time, and a significant portion of your instrument training hours can be logged in the sim. This means you build critical skills at lower cost while preserving aircraft hours for skills that require real-world flight.
The Redbird FMX replicates the experience of flying a Cessna 172 with realistic instrument panels, visual systems, and motion feedback. It’s approved by the FAA for training credit across multiple certificate levels.
Realistic motion feedback simulates the feel of actual flight for a more immersive training experience.
Simulator rates are significantly lower than aircraft rental, making every training dollar go further.
Time logged in the FMX counts toward FAA training requirements, reducing total aircraft hours needed.
Practice procedures, approaches, and emergency scenarios in a controlled, repeatable environment.
