Learn Even More in the Redbird Simulator

You can also earn hours towards your instrument rating in our Redbird FMX simulator at Kilo Charlie Aviation. This full-motion experience can duplicate just about any weather or visibility experience. It is an affordable alternative to in-flight time, and safer. Better yet, you get exposure to real-life situations you might encounter in the skies, but which can be difficult to duplicate in a training situation in live aircraft. Improve your navigational abilities, simulate weather, and increase your flight hours in the Redbird at Charlie Kilo Aviation.
