Flight Simulator
The Redbird LD Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD)
At Coastal Skies Aero Club, we believe great pilots are built through a combination of real-world flying and advanced simulation. That’s why we offer access to the Redbird LD Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD)—a powerful, FAA-approved simulator designed to accelerate learning, sharpen skills, and make flight training more efficient and cost-effective.
Whether you’re just starting your aviation journey or working toward advanced ratings, the Redbird LD provides a highly realistic environment to practice, learn, and grow as a pilot.
Train Smarter. Build Confidence Faster. Fly More Efficiently.
What Is the Redbird LD AATD?
The Redbird LD is a full-featured flight simulator that replicates real-world flying conditions with impressive accuracy. As an FAA-approved Advanced Aviation Training Device, it allows pilots to log certain training hours toward certifications while practicing critical skills in a safe, controlled environment.
From cockpit layout to flight dynamics, the experience is designed to closely mirror actual aircraft operation—without ever leaving the ground.
Features of the Redbird LD
- Realistic cockpit configuration and controls
- Advanced flight dynamics modeling
- Wraparound or high-definition visual display
- Configurable weather conditions and time of day
- Multiple aircraft profiles and avionics setups
- Instructor station for real-time scenario control and feedback
Why Train in the Redbird Simulator?
Build Skills Without Pressure
Simulation allows you to focus on learning without the added stress of weather, airspace congestion, or aircraft availability. It’s the ideal environment to make mistakes, learn quickly, and build confidence.
Save Time and Money
Simulator time is significantly more cost-effective than aircraft time. You can complete key training tasks efficiently, reducing overall training costs while maximizing learning.
Train for Real-World Scenarios
Practice situations that are difficult—or unsafe—to replicate in an aircraft, including: Emergency procedures, Instrument failures, Adverse weather conditions, Complex airspace navigation
Accelerate Your Training
Because sessions can be paused, reset, and repeated, you’ll spend more time learning and less time repositioning or waiting. This leads to faster skill development and better retention.
