The Pilot Proficiency Center (PPC) will be back at Oshkosh, but even bigger and better than last year. Because pilots learn best through scenario-based training, the PPC offers any AirVenture pilot, or pilot wannabe, an opportunity to experience the dynamic world of flight through one of 14 Redbird simulators stationed in a new 8,000-square-foot facility. The PPC, planted this year near the show’s epicenter at Knapp Street and EAA Square, is open for simulator flying between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. A number of Tech Talks on a wide range of cockpit flying techniques will also happen during the day, as well as a few early-bird tech sessions beginning at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
