Plus Taxes & Licensing
The Redbird FMX is the first flight simulator designed to meet the new challenges faced by modern flight training providers. With standard features that are anything but standard the FMX delivers unmatched training value for your customers and provides your business a range of advantages that are simply unavailable in other training devices.
The FMX’s electric motion platform and wrap-around visual offer multi-million dollar realism at a price any flight school can afford. With a training environment this realistic, it’s no surprise over 20 aviation authorities have approved the FMX, including the FAA and EASA. Plus, it’ll fit in a normal classroom or the corner of your hangar without any special electric requirements.

Does Motion Matter?
We know from firsthand experience at our flight training laboratory, Skyport, that motion does matter, and for some less than obvious reasons. Pilots that learn primary flight skills in a device that provides accurate motion feedback transition to the real aircraft in less time because they know what it “feels like” to fly. They are less anxious in the cockpit, have better touch on the controls, and know why you need right rudder in the climb. Interestingly, having a full motion simulator might be even more important for the flight school. At the end of the day, a flight school is a business that lives or dies by how many new customers it can acquire and how many current customers it can keep. The FMX has proven to be a huge marketing and customer retention advantage for the hundreds of schools that operate one. Motion: Good for Training, Good for Business.
Motion For Everyone
The Redbird FMX comes equipped with our innovative, 3-axis, electric motion platform. This one-of-a-kind system provides effective motion feedback for yaw, pitch, and roll. The system is clean and quiet enough to operate in a small classroom, but robust enough to stand-up to years of hard use in a large professional pilot academy.
