What is your best advice with the simulator?

If you have every played golf you will notice those who are serious usually go to the driving range and hit a few balls to warm up prior to playing a round. We advise you do the same. Hop on a warm up in the simulator prior to your actually flight lesson with a flight instructor. Practice your slow flight, stalls, emergencies, and much more prior to jumping in the airplane. It will help you practice your flows and setting up for the maneuvers which is the primary reason people mess it up.

Our goal is to help you train smarter, fly safer, and feel more confident in the air. We’re here to support you at every step of your aviation journey.

The Redbird LD Flight Simulator is now available at Miami Executive Airport – North Perry  will have delivery for a new simulator before the end of Q1 2025. Soon students at both locations can take advantage of this powerful training tool to enhance their skills, gain confidence, and refine their techniques in a realistic and controlled environment.
