Redbird™ LD
Redbird™ LD
The Redbird LD is the perfect solution for flight schools and individual pilots who wish to have the power of a Redbird in their home or office. Like the FMX and SD, the LD is FAA certified as an Advanced Aviation Training Device and is delivered with all of the standard features of a Redbird SD like wrap-around visuals, realistic flight controls, and interchangeable cockpits, but without the cockpit enclosure and pilot seats. It is an ideal choice for flight schools and home users that don’t have the available space for an SD or FMX.
Besides being a great choice for flight schools, it’s a fantastic addition for the individual pilot dedicated to maintaining instrument currency and keeping skills sharp when they can’t be flying the real thing.
Have a Look Around
A great visual system is essential for a training device to be truly effective and versatile. And if you want to train complex maneuvers such as turns around a point, circling approaches or even basic pattern work, one forward looking screen is not going to cut it. That's why we equipped the Redbird SD with six monitors dedicated only to external views. This high-quality, wrap-around visual system helps to sell the sensation of flight and enhances training at all levels by allowing you to train procedures and maneuvers that are not possible with
Intelligent Instruction
The Redbird SD is built with exceptional flight training in mind. To that end, every simulator features a copy of our advanced instructor's station software that can be run from a Windows XP laptop or tablet PC. The station allows the instructor to monitor and control aspects of flight such as equipment failures and special weather situations. It also allows the instructor to quickly reposition the flight, pause or end the flight, and even replay a recorded flight.
Don't Settle for One...You Can Have Them All
Most simulators on the market today represent one type of aircraft only, but most flight schools use a variety of aircraft to train their students. Do you see a disconnect? We did. So we made the SD reconfigurable to allow you to use one simulator to represent all of the airplanes in your training fleet. Each simulator comes with one configuration of your choice, from our library of aircraft. Additional configurations may be purchased for a small fraction of the cost of a new simulator. If you don’t see the aircraft you want in our library, let us know and we’ll create a custom expansion pack for you.
Proper Training is Key
Proper flight training requires an instructor to manage and track a student's progress. The Redbird SD is equipped with a USB keying system that allows you to do just that. Each pilot is assigned a unique Redbird pilot key which allows access to the simulator and stores information about flights taken in the FMX. With this key, the instructor can authorize the pilot to fly only those training missions that are applicable to the curriculum. It also allows you to restrict access, store pilot information, record instructor notes and view recordings of the student's flights during debrief sessions.
Push to Talk
One of the hardest things for new pilots to learn is proper radio communications. That's why the SD includes an intercom system that’s compatible with standard pilot headsets. This allows the instructor to sit back and play ATC so that the student can build radio skills before it really matters. The headsets also help to isolate the student and instructor from distractions that can derail a training session.
