The Redbird SD
With its wrap-around visual system, the Redbird SD will totally immerse your customers in their flight training. It’s versatile enough for single or multi-engine training and can represent glass panel or the traditional 6-pack avionics configurations. In short, the SD provides a government-approved, fully enclosed, visually stunning flight simulator for less than the price of a new SUV!
Immersive Visuals
In the past, simulators have been used almost exclusively for instrument instruction and a single screen was all you needed to show the runway when the student broke out at minimums. But why limit your customers' training and your profit if you don’t have to? The Redbird SD is a great primary training platform, thanks in large part to its expansive visual displays. You can still put’em in the soup if needed, but accurately simulating VFR flights opens up a huge range of uses for theSD. Let a student practice turns-around-a-point or show them the highway they’ll pass over on their long cross-country. With a world-wide terrain database to support the 200°visuals, theSD lets your customers experience the view from the cockpit before they ever leave the ground.
One Simulator
Gone are the days when every aircraft in the fleet had the same avionics package. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could offer a simulator for every type and panel in your fleet without needing to spend a few hundred thousand dollars? We thought so too, that’s why we designed our innovative, quick-change aircraft configuration system. In less than 10 minutes, your instructors can switch the SD from a 172 with analog gauges to a SR22 Perspective to a Baron 58 with a 430/530, or any of the 30+ aircraft configurations we offer. From the latest in glass panel technology to the old 6-pack and lots of GPS/Radio stacks in between, the SD can meet just about any need.
Loggable Time, Valuable Training
We are firm believers in simulation-centric training and we know the value of theSD far outpaces the loggable hours, at the end of the day, we all want credit for our work. That’s why we made sure theSD can be certified in just about any country. The FAA has approved it as an Advanced Aviation Training Device, it meets the requirements for EASA FNTP qualification, and many other authorities recognize the value of training in theSD. Want more details about certification?We’ve got you covered.
