Redbird LD Simulator (AATD)

Offering an all weather instructional platform, the Redbird LD Simulator allows Race City Flight Operations to offer high performance, complex, instrument or visual instruction even when it’s sleeting and snowing outside! This simulator is located at our LKN (Lake Norman Airport – 14A) Location. The RedBird LD has the Cygnus Pro Wireless attachment which allows you to connect to your ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot and simulate you actually flying in the airplane while you’re practicing your instrument skills. With the control loading yoke, it feels more realistic than previous models of simulators with springs alone.
