The ten-part show highlighting unique corners of aviation training arrives at AirVenture and invites pilots to join in the experience.
Winging It, Redbird’s ten-part online aviation video series, will culminate this week at AirVenture Oshkosh. The Winging It team, including host Brittney Miculka, will be filming the final two episodes of the series and inviting attendees to join in on the experience at the Redbird exhibit space and at the EAA Pilot Proficiency Center.
Using its deep experience base, Redbird brings professional grade controls to the home simulator market and provides enhancements for its FAA approved devices.
Today Redbird Flight announced three new products for its Alloy line of controls for home built simulators, a new visual expansion kit for its larger devices and updates to Parrot and Scarlet.
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, Redbird has built a custom P-40 motion simulator.
Redbird Flight has built a custom, full-motion simulator of a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The simulator, based on Redbird’s MX2 platform, will be displayed during AirVenture at the Pacific Aviation Museum exhibit (Main Aircraft Display Space 445). Attendees can take part in history as they fly over Pearl Harbor. The project was a result of a partnership between Redbird Flight, A2A Simulations, FLYING, and the Pacific Aviation Museum.
Improvements by Continental allow RedHawk remanufactured C-172 to fly up to 2,100 hours.
RedHawk Training Aircraft has announced that the Time Before Replacement (TBR) for the Continental CD-135 engine has been increased from 1,500 to 2,100 hours. Continental Motors was able to make this lifetime extension because of key improvements, continuous testing, and field experience. The RedHawk was developed to offer a solution to the soaring prices of new training aircraft with advanced technology and this time extension for the diesel engine offers even more value. By flying another 600 hours on these reliable engines, flight training organizations can increase profits while still passing additional savings on to their customers.
Pilots participating in the EAA Pilot Proficiency Center will receive an interactive debriefing experience through Redbird Sidekick.
Redbird Flight is proud to support the EAA Pilot Proficiency Center by providing 14 training devices, Sidekick data collection system, and its new debriefing application on Redbird Landing. The Pilot Proficiency Center serves as a gathering point for pilots of all levels to enhance skills, learn from expert instructors, and become safer pilots through effective simulation training. Those who visit the Pilot Proficiency Center will be able to choose from 32 different training scenarios. At AirVenture, all simulator flights will be recorded with Redbird’s Sidekick technology and uploaded to the Redbird Landing. Data collected by Sidekick will allow pilots to perform a thorough debrief of the scenarios at the Redbird exhibit or at home by visiting landing.redbirdflight.com/debrief. Attendees participating in the Pilot Proficiency Center will receive an ID badge that will identify and associate them with all of their training flights. At the Redbird exhibit space (located next to the Proficiency Center), they can retrieve their flight information with the QR code and review everything about their training session.
