Students have the ability to perform advanced maneuvers and procedures.

RedBird MCX Simulator

The Redbird MCX is an ideal training platform providing enhanced training from student pilot to professional crew. It comes equipped with an innovative 3-axis electric motion platform. This one-of-a-kind system provides effective motion feedback for yaw, pitch, and roll.

The dual controls of the MCX allow an instructor, instructor-in-training, or co-pilot to perform maneuvers from the right seat. During initial pilot training, an instructor can demonstrate maneuvers from the right seat before the student tries their hand, just like a pilot would do in the real airplane. Its full dual control system allows you to simulate real-world Crew Resource Management (CRM) situations.

McAir Aviation’s Frasca TruFlite Simulator and sub-systems are designed to provide realism by combining experience with developing technology.

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk and Piper Seminole are both represented in McAir’s custom built simulator. Perfect for all students in nearly every stage of training, the TruFlite makes a lasting contribution.
