The Redbird FMX provides for 3-axis of motion simulation. 40 degrees of roll, 50 degrees of pitch and 60 degrees of yaw provide pilots a realistic motion sensation that allows for a quicker transition from simulator to the airplane. Six wrap-around monitors also provide for a very realistic visual simulation of the flight environment.

The Redbird FMX is a superior-quality, full motion, feature-rich Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) priced with real-world flight training organizations in mind. With standard features that are anything but standard such as wrap-around visuals, a fully enclosed cockpit, quick-change configurations, scenario-based training compatibility and an electric motion platform, the FMX serves up a level of realism that is simply unavailable in other training devices on the market.
With the current Letter of Authorization the Redbird can be used for dual instruction for the following operations. They must be conducted in accordance with the Part 61 of the Federal Aviation regulations.

Motion Does Matter!
Immersive Visuals
In the past, simulators have been used almost exclusively for instrument instruction and a single screen was all you needed to show the runway when the student broke out at minimums. But why limit your training and if you don’t have to? The Redbird FMX is a great primary training platform, thanks in large part to its expansive visual displays. You can still put them in the soup if needed, but accurately simulating VFR flights opens up a huge range of uses for the FMX. Let a student practice turns-around-a-point or show them the highway they’ll pass over on their long cross-country. With a world-wide terrain database to support the 200° visuals, the FMX lets pilots experience the view from the cockpit before they ever leave the ground.
