Redbird Takes Flight - Texas Company Tackles One of General Aviation’s Most Vexing Questions

How do you effectively and affordably train an enormous pilot population in the proper use of increasingly complex avionics, and train an increasing number of new pilots to operate safely in basic aircraft within a complex airspace system?

A new company in Austin, Texas, Redbird Flight Simulations, Inc., is poised to provide the answer. Founded by a team of technology and engineering professionals with a passion for aviation, the company has quietly invested thousands of hours developing a full suite of affordable flight training systems designed to be within the financial reach of the average flight school.

The company’s flagship product the Redbird FMX features the unique RadiusView™ mosaic LCD display system and a revolutionary motion control platform capable of providing a full motion training experience.

With an expected price that is less than the cost of an IO-360 Lycoming engine, the company has achieved the goal of creating a truly affordable full motion flight simulator. To celebrate, the Redbird team will unveil the FMX at AirVenture 2007 in Oshkosh, Wisconson in July. Qualified flight schools, aviation professionals, and aircraft owners planning to attend AirVenture can register for a test flight on the company’s website - www.redbirdflightsimulations.com.

Redbird Flight Simulations is an Austin, Texas-based company focused on the development of a full line of safe and reliable aviation training devices which utilize the latest improvements in software and video graphics technology. The goal? To deliver a truly realistic training environment that is well within the reach of the average flight school.
