Simulation Proficiency Training with Qualified Instructors

The Spirit of Aviation will rise in late July just as it has for the last 50 years at EAA AirVenture.  The Pilot Proficiency Center team has worked overtime to bring the same quality simulation mission exercises and scenarios featured at Oshkosh to your Redbird ATD or at a select flight training center near you.  We'll connect you with experienced instructors from SAFE and NAFI that have trained with proven simulation missions and state of the art remote training tools.

Remote Instruction

If you have a home-based Redbird ATD, you can fly select simulation missions with a remote instructor. All you need is to make sure your Redbird simulation device is up to date and that you've got a good camera connected to a Zoom meeting platform.

Instructors come to your Redbird ATD

Your instructor will connect direct to your sim with the new Redbird Connect platform that transforms the acclaimed Navigator instructor station into a remote training platform.  You'll communicate with video and audio through ZOOM.

How it works

You'll set up your web cam on a device connected to ZOOM so that it faces your Redbird TD.  You can use a laptop or even a tablet with a camera but the higher the resolution the better the results.  With the camera positioned properly, your instructor will be able to see you and your flight controls.  The instructor will log onto to your sim with Redbird Connect which will allow them to view performance, configuration and navigation data and then debrief with CloudAhoy.
