The JAY

info@redbirdflight.com (Redbird Flight) — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 05:00:00 GMT

Practicing at home is a great idea for every pilot. You can keep your skills sharp and your mind in the cockpit even when you can’t make it to the airport. The clean-sheet design of the JAY by Redbird prioritized one thing: Get the pilot flying with a minimum of fuss. There are no peripherals to configure, no systems to install. Take it out of the box, plug it in and turn it on. Now say, “preflight complete.”

Going from shipping box to flying in five minutes isn’t much fun if it breaks five minutes later. That’s why the JAY shares design components with full motion simulators built by Redbird Flight Simulations, which withstand thousands of hours of abuse in flight schools around the world. The software on the JAY is the same code powering those FAA-certified machines. It’s one tough bird.

Xwind

info@redbirdflight.com (Redbird Flight) — Sun, 04 Jan 2015 09:21:00 GMT

Since the early days of powered flight, pilots have struggled with landing in crosswinds and learning proper crosswind landing techniques. Even today, most crosswind landing skills are learned through trial and error … sometimes with disastrous results. Believe it or not, the most common contributing factor in weather related accidents each year is crosswinds. The second most common factor is wind gusts. In fact crosswinds and wind gusts cause more landing accidents than fog, thunderstorms, and icing combined!

That’s where the Redbird Xwind comes in. It teaches pilots the proper techniques to meet and beat these top two causes of weather related landing accidents. By placing pilots in gusty, crosswind conditions for extended periods of time, the Xwind gives instructors all the time they need to teach the pilot the proper techniques for landing in challenging crosswind conditions.

Alloy RD1

info@redbirdflight.com (Redbird Flight) — Sun, 04 Jan 2015 08:00:00 GMT

The Most Realistic Home Simulation Controls on the Market

High-quality rudder pedals are the easiest way to add realism to your Jay, TD, TD2, or home-built simulator. However, most low-cost pedals are more likely to give you the sense of playing a computer game rather than providing real flight training. The Alloy RD1 rudder pedals are designed to mimic exactly what you’d expect while flying.

The advanced spring system means you can apply pressure to the rudder versus only forcing rudder travel, just like in the real aircraft. For precise ground handling, the RD1s have a full range of travel and aircraft-style, differential toe brakes. The all-metal RD1 pedals use the same technology found in Redbird’s professional-grade simulators making them realistic, rugged and affordable. USB connectivity ensures that the RD1s are compatible with most flight simulation software devices running Lockheed Martin Prepar3d, X-Plane, and Microsoft Flight Simulator (including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020).

Insight

info@redbirdflight.com (Redbird Flight) — Sat, 03 Jan 2015 18:00:00 GMT

Whether you’re a student pilot or instructor, Insight provides valuable information to enhance the flight instruction process. With Redbird Insight, an instructor can monitor a training session from outside the simulator. They can view the flight from a variety of angles, both inside and outside the aircraft and record the flight for playback during a debriefing session.

Insight integrates with the Redbird line of flight simulators to render the outside view of the aircraft, a live video feed from the inside view of the cockpit and cockpit instrumentation onto an external display. Key aspects of the flight can be immediately reviewed on the Insight screen after a flight is completed by using DVR-like controls on the Insight viewing station.

Corvus

info@redbirdflight.com (Redbird Flight) — Sat, 03 Jan 2015 17:00:00 GMT

Corvus connects your Redbird simulator to your electronic flight bag (ForeFlight, iFly and Garmin Pilot supported) by providing data akin to an ADS-B receiver. In addition to representing own-ship position of simulated aircraft, Corvus also broadcasts attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) information as well as Traffic Information Services-Broadcast (TIS-B) data. Select Flight Information Services-Broadcast (FIS-B) functionality, such as weather and airspace information, is currently in development and will be available in future updates.

CAPS

info@redbirdflight.com (Redbird Flight) — Thu, 01 Jan 2015 20:21:00 GMT

Nobody ever wants to pull the CAPS handle, but knowing when and how to do it is a critical part of emergency training that has been very difficult to accomplish. That's why we partnered with BRS to build this highly accurate add-on from the exact same components used in the real aircraft, minus the explosives. Redbird CAPS is a must have for flight schools that operate a MCX, FMX, or SD to train pilots in aircraft equipped with a whole aircraft parachute, including the Cirrus SR20 and SR22. The Redbird CAPS add-on gives your customers the advantage to learn by doing. Not only can they practice the deployment procedures until it's second nature, you'll be able to put them in the difficult scenarios that require them to make the hard choice or experience the outcome. All in the safety of your Redbird.

While operators of Cirrus SR20 and SR22 are the most obvious benefactors of this training, the Redbird CAPS add-on works with any of our aircraft configurations. This allows you to offer training on whole aircraft parachute system operation for pilots with STC installations or create an aircraft agnostic course for your customers without needing to purchase a new aircraft configuration.
