Convenient Flight Training
Flight times are based on availability during museum hours Tuesday through Friday with no worry about weather conditions.

Affordable Flight Training 
$75 per hour or part of an hour / $65 for Members

  $200 for one 3-hour time block /$170 for Members 

Innovative Technology
The MX2 comes equipped with 3-axis, electric motion platform where trainees can receive high caliber, single-pilot training with full motion simulation. This one-of-a-kind system provides effective motion feedback for yaw, pitch, and roll.

Realistic Visuals & Movement
The Redbird MX2 is a great primary training platform, thanks in large part to its expansive visual display and electric motion platform. The MX2 lets trainees experience the view from the cockpit before they ever leave the ground.

FAA Approved Flight Hours
The training environment is so realistic that the Federal Aviation Administration authorizes the MX2 as an Approved Aviation Training Device (AATD), allowing future pilots to count the training hours logged.

Various Training Uses
Student pilots, private pilots, and pilots who need instrument currency can all present their log books to the FAA for training hours flown in the MX2.

A Trusted Brand
Redbird Flight Simulations makes aviation accessible and easier for anyone to become a pilot.  Careful engineering, modern technology, and training value are at the core of Redbird’s passion for aviation.  Learn More at Redbird Flight
