New Products Bring Affordable Aircraft-Specific Devices To
Operators, Trainin Organizations
Beech King Air C90GTx and Piper Meridian pilots can now take
advantage of Redbird training devices. The company announced
Wednesday that is has delivered aircraft-specific Advanced Aviation
Training Devices for those two airplanes. “These devices
represent a valuable addition to our product line” said Todd
Willinger, Redbird Flight Simulations CEO, “the low
acquisition cost makes these simulators an attractive investment
for flight training providers that utilize more complicated
aircraft.” In keeping with Redbird’s mission to make
flight training more affordable, these simulators are priced well
below other devices of their kind. In addition, Redbird is
actively working on expanding its aircraft specific product line to
include the King Air 350, Caravan and Matrix/Mirage.
The devices were built to represent the actual aircraft in
function, pilot interface and flying characteristics. Both feature
Redbird’s signature electric motion platform and dual pilot
controls equipped with an innovative and robust control loading
system. They are equipped with a full complement of functional
switches, knobs, buttons and circuit breakers. “These
products were designed to provide the customer with a fully
functional training platform to teach all aspects of operating the
systems, avionics and flight profiles of the model aircraft”
said Todd Willinger.
The Redbird K9X, representing a Beechcraft King Air C90GTx was
delivered to the FAA Flight Program located at Fort Worth Alliance
Airport in Fort Worth, TX. The K9X is used to provide cost
effective training for new and current aviation safety inspectors
and to assist the Flight Program in keeping the more than 1,200
safety inspectors proficient, competent and current. The
Redbird K9X provides an accurate representation of the Proline 21
avionics package and gives program inspectors many failure and
systems training options to test students. The Flight Program also
utilizes a Redbird FMX for single and twin engine piston training
and Redbird is currently readying 3 more K9X’s for
delivery.

The Redbird MDN, representing a Piper Meridian was delivered to
Legacy Flight Training in Vero Beach, FL. The MDN was designed with
an interchangeable cockpit configuration, giving it the ability to
represent G1000, Avidyne and Meggitt instrument panels.
“The MDN is a fantastic addition to our training curriculum
and it’s a great tool” said Bill Inglis, Founder of
Legacy Flight Training “the simulator allows customers to
increase and maintain their proficiency in the airplane and gives
them a chance to practice emergency procedures in a safe
environment”. Legacy Flight Training specializes in recurrent
training for owners and operators of Piper Malibu aircraft.
They will be taking delivery of a Redbird Mirage/Matrix later
this.
