A new floatplane training device addresses a void in the unique flight training market.
At EAA AirVenture 2018, Redbird Flight Simulations, Wipaire and Tropic Ocean Airways announced a partnership intended to modernize floatplane training. As the design and usage of floatplanes have advanced, the technology utilized for pilot training has remained stagnant. To address the unique training requirements for floatplane pilots, Redbird has customized its immersive, full-motion CRV training device—which represents a Cessna 208 Grand Caravan—to include an amphibious float kit designed and manufactured by Wipaire.
All flight simulators, including those from other companies, can be traded in for credit toward the purchase of a new Redbird.
Redbird Flight Simulations today announced its new Trade In, Trade Up program to give owners of outdated flight simulators an upgrade path to a state-of-the-art Redbird aviation training device. Simulation has become an important part of modern flight training, but thousands of simulators are relegated to limited use due to a reliance on 30-year-old technologies and outdated design. This new program from Redbird allows operators of these devices to get value from their initial investment, while upgrading the training experience they can offer to their customers.
All students in grades 5-12 are welcome to attend classes and fly the simulators
Austin, TX (June 6, 2018) – Another installment of the Redbird STEM Lab will take place June 15-16 during the AOPA Fly-In in Missoula, Montana. Open to all students in grades 5-12, the STEM lab will utilize Jay Velocity flight simulators to integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) into aviation-themed classes. Redbird again has teamed up with Greg Roark, CEO of Aspen Aerospace Alliance, to instruct the classes.

Las Vegas, NV (February 27, 2018) – At HAI HELI-EXPO 2018, Redbird Flight Simulations has announced the first international sale of its VTO helicopter training device. Genesa Flight Academy, one of Indonesia’s leading training providers, will take delivery of the device in June 2018.
The VTO is the second Redbird device to be integrated into Genesa’s flight training curriculum. For fixed-wing proficiency training, the academy acquired a Redbird MCX in 2014.
