Redbird Flight Simulations is bringing a new level of realism to aviation training devices (ATDs) with the NXi panel.

Key Takeaways:

Redbird Flight Simulations is rolling out significant enhancements to its aviation training devices (ATDs) with new high-fidelity software and hardware.
These upgrades include an enhanced Garmin G1000 NXi software emulation (releasing August 17) and a new E001 instrument panel (available early 2027), designed to be modular and backward compatible.
The goal of these improvements is to provide a more realistic, reconfigurable, and accurate training experience by closely emulating specific aircraft cockpits and avionics.
