Key Takeaways:

  • Redbird Pro is an app designed to help pilots build procedural skills and proficiency in challenging, potentially emergent flight situations using flight simulators.
  • Three new critical scenarios have been added to the app: managing asymmetrical flaps, coping with a loss of elevator cable, and executing a box canyon turn.
  • Each scenario guides pilots through a full process including briefing, flight, scoring, and debriefing with an experienced CFI, and can be accessed via a "Chair Flight" feature even without a physical simulator.

If you had to, could you fly an aircraft with asymmetrical flaps, a loss of elevator cable or make a box canyon turn in tight quarters? It’s much better to find out the answer to these questions in a controlled environment, such as a Redbird Flight simulator, than out in the real-world at crunch time. That’s why Redbird has added these three scenarios to Redbird Pro, an app designed to help pilots build good procedural skills and proficiency in challenging situations.

Each scenario takes pilots through challenging, potentially emergent situations with an experienced CFI as their host.
