With our new operating system, Redbird Navigator, you're able to use a tablet or laptop to wirelessly control and manage your Redbird AATD in a much simpler and intuitive way. As of November 1, 2015 it's installed on every new MCX, FMX, MX2, SD, and LD we ship. Navigator includes 3 powerful, but easy to use applications:

Instructor Station - Used to operate and control the simulator environment.
Dispatch - Launch and save flights, as well as start in a free flight mode.
Sim Management - Easily update software, track billing, and open a case with Redbird support.

Current customers can learn more about upgrading to Navigator here.

Visual System

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? Redbird simulators are 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 Redbird Simulators. 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, our visual system lets your customers experience the view from the cockpit before they ever leave the ground.

Motion System

When we started Redbird in 2006 we knew that the airlines and the military had been using full-motion simulation for years and we thought we could build a motion system that normal flight schools could afford. The Redbird motion system is unlike any other system on the market. This one-of-a-kind system provides effective motion feedback for yaw, pitch, and roll. The system is clean and quiet enough to operate in a small classroom, but robust enough to stand-up to years of hard use in a large professional pilot academy.

Control Loading

When someone talks about a simulator, the fact that “it doesn’t feel like the real thing” almost always comes up. While that might not be a big deal when you’re teaching instrument procedures, this lack of “feel” turns most devices into a paper weight when you try to teach basic aircraft handling. The primary culprit of “simulator feel” is the traditional spring-loaded yoke system that has been the industry standard since the 1940’s. We’ve known that force feedback systems are the answer to this problem, but these systems have been hugely expensive and delicate components that aren’t even an option on most general aviation training devices … until now.

Aircraft Configurations

With Redbird Aircraft Expansion Packs you can represent a wide variety of training aircraft without having to buy a new simulator for each. Each configuration comes with a new instrument panel overlay with operable gauges and avionics, and if necessary, a new throttle quadrant and yoke is provided to give you the proper controls for the aircraft chosen.
